Oh my God, I am not good at playing game with git, already laughed by many
guys on LKML. As you see, I delivered all works based on diff through 512K ADSL,
things like "git clone" sounds really monstrous.

Would you please, Peter, teach me how to play git, since I want to do more?

And the patch is delivered to Andreas this time.
