I tried this tree a while ago but at the time it had a problem with tags (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/14/177). I just recloned and see that's now fixed...
I'm rolling my own since then though. Not sure, but perhaps it's interesting to someone: when Linus tags a release from his repo I branch of the -stable branch myself:
$ git checkout -b v22 v2.6.22
and then (following advice from Junio Hamano) add the following stanza to .git/config:
=== [branch "v22"] remote = linux-2.6.22.y merge = refs/heads/master [remote "linux-2.6.22.y"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git fetch = refs/heads/master ===
(the url = is one line, but is wrapping).
When on this v22 branch, a simple "git pull" then updates from the stable tree. It's been working nicely for me. The manual .git/config editing is a little awkard perhaps but for all I know I could do so via some well-chosen git commands.
