Cloning Linus's tree works.  Cloning linux-next won't do what you think it does.

You want to do something like this to grow your own copy of linux-next:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
$ git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
$ git fetch linux-next
$ git fetch --tags linux-next

After which, using 'git remote update' will refresh it. Do *NOT*, repeat *NOT*
try to use 'git pull', because this isn't a clone that you can pull onto...
