is there a short cut - cloning kernel - resolving deltas 3+ hours and going...

I am on a 4 core ARM system 1GB ram...

remote: Enumerating objects: 8716377, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (748/748), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (748/748), done. remote: Total 8716377 (delta 4), reused 740 (delta 0), pack-reused 8715629 Receiving objects: 100% (8716377/8716377), 3.54 GiB | 6.85 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (7232922/7232922), done.

Helpful thoughts? Or do I just need more patience.

1. https://www.kernel.org/cloning-linux-from-a-bundle.html
2. do that on a better system
3. copy the .git folder over via NFS...

Done 5 minutes.

This is mostly where the problem lies, unfortunately. Resolving deltas does require quite a bit of CPU power and a 4-core ARM system is just not that powerful.

Indeed, copying over a pre-checked out repository from a trusted place is your best course of action. I've considered providing something like this directly from kernel.org, but this is fundamentally different from git cloning and requires a whole different level of trust that I'm not comfortable with.
