Problem in Getting Mainline Kernel

[Freeman Zhang]

My cloning process showed no visible errors, but 'git status' print
thousands of [Deleted]. I think that is why I miss nearly all the
directories in my git directory.

Anyway, now I'm using:

	rsync -av --progress
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git .

rsync is resumable. Hope it works :)


All the best!
