Actually, they're about the same, as the kernel had a codefreeze at that
point, waiting for git to be usable :)

Yes! That's it. You use to the books to "get a feel" for it and to understand
how you start working on it, where to look for stuff etc. From then on, you
really need to look at the source-code.
As a practical tip in source-code browsing, look at code2color and do
something like this
code2color filename.[ch] | less -FR
I use that all the time, and it's worth it weight in gold ;-)
