Since lore.kernel.org now has the same archive as public-inbox.org and
may have more longevity going forward[1], let's recommend people use it
for finding or referencing messages.

[1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20191120195556.GA25189@dcvr/
      or if you like:
    https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191120195556.GA25189@dcvr/ (local)

One of the things I appreciate most about https://public-inbox.org/git is
that you can clone it. I just tried this with
https://lore.kernel.org/git/...

$ git clone https://lore.kernel.org/git/  lore-git
Cloning into 'lore-git'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

Oops, that's a usability issue I hope to fix at some point.

Is this something other people also care about?

Instructions are actually at the bottom:

   git clone --mirror https://lore.kernel.org/git/0 git/git/0.git

The "0" is the "epoch", and larger repos have multiple epochs,
roughly 1GB each. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ has 0..7, right now.
