Hi, Ming Lin

I'm a college student in China. My research for the master degree is related to 
Linux kernel, which has driven me to learn a lot about the kernel. Thus It  
makes me eager to be a kernel contributor. I want to participate the project 
"Block layer projects that I haven't had time for" raised by Kent. I have read 
the mails about it in lkml and the source code.


But there is still two problems. 
1. Until now my way of getting source is directly download tar package from 
kernel.org. I know it will be better to use git, but I found that it is quite 
slow with the speed of only 20 KB per second. I have configured my PC to by 
pass the annoying GFW so I think it is nothing with it.


I guess you're also in China from your name and you are also participating in 
this project. So could you help me with it?


2. I'm not quite sure about which tree should I clone and whether the bcache 
branch is contained in mainline kernel tree. If not, should I clone the bcache 
tree from this address http://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git? 
And I found the address https://github.com/dongsupark/linux%3E gives me a 404 
not found response, which is mentioned in lkml by Donsu Park


Thanks a lot!


Michael
