Hello everyone,
I currently use

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

to pull Linus Linux tree. Which is a bit suboptimal, I guess. So I am
asking for the URL to use GITs own protocol. And where could I have
looked it up?

Thanks,
        Thomas

The top of http://www.kernel.org/git/ says you can use
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/...
