Dreamhost is way slow compared to kernel.org, so it is better to clone from kernel.org first and then pull from dreamhost. What is the right sequence of commands so that a new user will end up with a kernel they can use 'git pull' on to get updates from dreamhost? I'll add these to the repo description page.

I'm trying this locally and I can't figure out the right sequence of git command to redirect origin from kernel.org to dreamhost.

Doing this was bad, it messed up my heads. jonsmirl@terra:~/foo/digispeaker$ git remote rm origin error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/origin/master: No such file or directory update-ref -d refs/remotes/origin/master 6e800af233e0bdf108efb7bd23c11ea6fa34cdeb: command returned error: 1
