Or:

$ hdiutil create -size 1g -fs UFS -type SPARSEBUNDLE -nospotlight -attach -volname linux-2.6 linux-2.6 $ cd /Volume/linux-2.6 $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

I think SPARSEBUNDLE will be a little friendlier to Time Machine. Using UFS isn't strictly needed for checking out the kernel repo, but it's not brain-damaged like HFS+ w/respect to Unicode.
