How to git clone kernel source fast?

[秦弋戈]

Hi Ming,


I could clone code from your address, but it is much more slower with the speed of only several KB per second.  Oh my God!


Fortunately I got pretty useful help from Freeman Zhang in the mailing list. I will be able to clone code soon.


Thanks all the same!


Best regards
Michael
