No, every morning I pull from you and Junio and Petr Baudis using cg-update, so I'm very much current. I notice that cg-update specifically does an http GET on kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/HEAD which is actually a symlink to your refs/heads/master. Your 'master' now exists, but didn't exist two days ago as far I could see from my end.

The kernel.org server returned a 'you don't have permission to read kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/HEAD on this server', not a 404. I tried two different ftp clients which also could not see your 'master' file until yesterday.

I notice that Petr hasn't made any changes to cogito for a long time, so maybe it needs some updating? Dunno.
