b) The staging tree might not be the best example for true kernel git sources newbies, mainline is arguably a better one.
What do you mean by "mainline"? drivers/staging/ _is_ in the mainline kernel tree (i.e. kernel.org releases). It is a good place to find easy coding style fixes, right?
c) The example again appears dated and insecure, using the git:// protocol that the git-fetch manpage's GIT URLS discussion specifically warns should be used with caution on unsecured networks like the general internet, because it does no authentication and is /not/ secured.
Why do you need to "secure" git pulls? thanks, greg k-h
