If you have an existing kernel git tree (linux.git or linux-next.git) then you have already downloaded most of the commits. Try this to avoid downloading the majority of the kernel commit history: $ cd linux # existing linux.git or linux-next.git tree $ git fetch git://github.com/stefanha/linux.git line6-drop-sysfs-attrs >From git://github.com/stefanha/linux * branch line6-drop-sysfs-attrs -> FETCH_HEAD $ git checkout FETCH_HEAD Or if you expect to fetch from my repo again in the future, add a remote: $ cd linux # existing linux.git or linux-next.git tree $ git remote add stefanha git://github.com/stefanha/linux.git $ git fetch stefanha $ git checkout stefanha/line6-drop-sysfs-attrs (Now you can fetch 'stefanha' again in the future to get new branches from my repo.)
