Kernel Hacker's guide to git (updated)

I've updated my git quickstart guide at

	http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html

It now points to DaveJ's daily snapshots for the initial bootstrap tarball, is reorganized for better navigation, and other things.

Also, a bonus recipe:  how to import Linus's pack files (it's easy).

This recipe presumes that you have a vanilla-Linus repo (/repo/linux-2.6) and your own repo (/repo/myrepo-2.6).

$ cd /repo/myrepo-2.6 $ git-fsck-cache # fsck, make sure we're OK $ git pull /repo/linux-2.6/.git # make sure we're up-to-date $ cp -al ../linux-2.6/.git/objects/pack .git/objects $ cp ../linux-2.6/.git/refs/tags/* .git/refs/tags $ git-prune-packed $ git-fsck-cache # fsck #2, make sure we're OK

This recipe reduced my kernel.org sync from ~50,000 files to ~5,000 files.
