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!

Hi Kristof,
You are right, I did clone the source on mac os. And I am really suffering :(
I just tried it myself. Cloning works at least without *visible* errors. Cross compiling on OSX will lead to errors though I guess because of the aforementioned case insensivity.
I'm on Yosemity, btw.
All the best!

Finally I cloned the mainline kernel from "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git". However, when I'm looking at the git directory, I got nothing but:
. .. arch .DS_Store .git .gitignore .mailmap
Are you by any chance trying to do this on an OS X machine? That's going to lead to pain and suffering.
For example, there are a couple of files which have the same name with different case, which isn't going to work on a default OS X install. By default OS X has a case insensitive file system. It's possible to change that, but you *really* want a Linux system to build the kernel.
