How about doing

    $ LINUS=git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

quoted

    $ git fetch $LINUS
    $ git bundle create myfork.bundle HEAD..master

I think you mean

      $ git fetch $LINUS master
      $ git bundle create myfork.bundle FETCH_HEAD..master

Thanks, of course you are right.

Strictly speaking, as I know there is only one branch in the repository of
Linus, there is no need to say "master" when fetching, but it would be a
good discipline to explicitly specify what you mean on the command line.
