Slow access to git trees under ftp.arm.linux.org.uk?

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?
