Re: Git tree for old kernels from before the current tree

Continuing on with kernel archeology for embedded systems, any
interest in making a git tree with all of the kernel versions from the

Well, it would be cool if history was somehow available (I recognize
this would be a lot of work). One currently has to go through the
bk repo if something is to be searched for in that timeframe.

No history in the
tree, just a simple way to quickly fetch and select a copy of all the
various old releases. I know they are all available ftp, git tree
would organize them all in one place and let you fetch them all at
once.

In fact, we could bisect on it. Though not sure how useful that is
with really old versions :)

If this is small enough you could add it to the current kernel tree.
Git's super diffing performance might make this fairly small.
