It is eaiser to put
  git config remote.origin.url
http://git.digispeaker.com/projects/digispeaker-kernel.git
in a cookbook web page sequence than say edit the config file by hand.

I added the cookbook sequence to my git project page. http://git.digispeaker.com/ Without cloning from kernel.org first it takes an hour to clone from dreamhost, but what do you want for $5/mth. I'll more to a better host when traffic picks up.
