I suspect that the majority of people who build -mm kernels build -mm ker=
nels
because they *weren't* using BK to pull the trees they were interested in=
.

Currently I can pull the pieces needed for a -mm kernel over a 56K modem
without *too* much pain, which means it's something I can easily do in an=

evening.   What would be the additional disk space requirements to store =
enough
of a git tree so I can pull the corresponding linus.patch myself, and how=
 long
would it take to do at 56K?  Also, what's the comparative CPU/bandwidth h=
it
on the server end for me to download the additional data if it's bundled
into Andrew's patch, versus me doing a 'git update' or whatever the comma=
nd is?

I'm suspecting that it's less strain overall to just include the 180K or =
so that
the bzip'ed linus.patch takes than to make everybody pull the data needed=
 to
create their own linus.patch
