It is very strange to pull from this repo, git fetch is doing
something
for a while now without any forward progress.
This is not surprising at all. This tree is not a kernel tree, but
rather a backport tree. It doesn't contain anything besides the Wifi
stack and the backport code. It has no common commit with the Linux
kernel. I understand that you fetched this tree from a kernel tree but
that's not a good idea. Git will try to find a common ancestor but that
will fail... after a huge number of tentatives. You'd better clone it.
In any case, 4.5 is bad too, testing 4.4 now.
Here you go.
I 'm travelling currently
so the whole bisection deal will take a whole but I'll get to it
eventually.
I'll be glad to see something coming out of this, but I can't say I am
very optimistic.
Thanks for taking a look.
