Yes. Except we don't actually use grafts/replace and users can currently only clone the latest epoch of LKML. In the future, it should also be easy to jettison old epochs if space is limited.

You can use the gzipped JSON grokmirror manifest at: https://lore.kernel.org/git/manifest.js.gz

grokmirror could be a bit of a pain to install because of Python dependencies, so periodically attempting to clone the next numbered epoch ought to be fine, too.

I've also considered adding epoch info into https://lore.kernel.org/git/_/text/config/raw so shell scripters w/o JSON parsers can use "git config"
