Bite the bullet. If you want to track kernel modules, you'll need to pull a kernel tree. You can keep trying to play games with --depth, but it will be much easier to just let git get the whole history. > Apologies for this saga.

That doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but why not just grab a 2.6.27 tarball if that's what you want to do? -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
