Hi there,
The linux-arm-kernel[1] project on patches.l.o was using the following source tree
http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/kernel/git-cur/linux-2.6-arm.git
to track committed patches, but fetching that repo seems to have become ridiculously slow, causing git to take ages to update the local copy or get a new one. So I'm wondering if there's any mirror of that repo (served via HTTP as we can't fetch git:// URLs from the machine that runs patches.l.o) somewhere with a bigger pipe? If not, would it be ok to change the source tree of linux-arm-kernel to Linus' tree?
Most people seem to be experiencing problems with this tree just now.
The correct result is that the check for merges in rmk's tree should return no result in this case -- we simply don't know what is merged in there. Can you time it out (or just temporarily turn off fetching of that tree)?
I've turned it off for now as I couldn't find a way to specify a timeout for git.
Fetching torvalds/master twice doesn't really give us any more useful information than fetching it once.
We only look for the patches sent to the linux-arm-kernel list on RMK's tree; what I was proposing was to look for them on torvalds/master instead (for the time being), but if torvalds can't merge from that tree either, it won't buy us anything.
Cheers,
