I've made local copy of Linus's linux-2.6.git repository with following git command, --- # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git --- After this, I would like to know how to synchronize local copy and keep updated with Linus's. I guess cloning everyday would be bad idea as it is heavy operation. Can someone guide me on how to? Thank you, Allexio ``` ## J.
