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.
