One of the things I appreciate most about https://public-inbox.org/git is that you can clone it. I just tried this with https://lore.kernel.org/git/...

$ git clone https://lore.kernel.org/git/ lore-git Cloning into 'lore-git'... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

Is this something other people also care about?

Ciao, Dscho
