You might need a "git seek" or a "git cancel" or a "git track pasky" here; make sure that VERSION is 0.7.

Then do make install again (to install the 0.7 version that you just got).

Then you want to go into the directory you want linux in:

  cd ..
  mkdir linux
  cd linux

And get a version of Linux:

  git init linus rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

(IIRC; I've only really worked on git with git)

If you do another addremote in the git directory, it will think that both remote repositories are for different versions of the same project, and it will be unhappy with the fact that they are completely unrelated.
