+	Kernel hacker's guide to git
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+      2005 Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>
+
+You can get cogito at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/
+. Compile it, and place it somewhere in $PATH. Then you can get kernel
+by running
+
+mkdir clean-cg; cd clean-cg
+cg-init rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+
+... Do cg-update origin to pickup latest changes from Linus. You can
+do cg-diff to see what changes you done in your local tree. cg-cancel
+will kill any such changes, and cg-commit will make them permanent.
+
+To get diff between your working tree and "next tree up", do cg-diff
+-r origin: . If you want to get the same diff but separated
+patch-by-patch, do cg-mkpatch origin: . If you want to pull changes
+from the "up" tree to your working tree, do cg-update origin.
+
+
+How to set up your trees so that you can cooperate with Linus
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+What I did:
+
+Created clean-cg. Initialized straight from Linus (as above). Then I
+created "nice" tree, good for Linus to pull from 
+
+mkdir /data/l/linux-good; cd /data/l/linux-good
+cg-init /data/l/clean-cg
+
+and then my working tree, based on linux-good
+
+mkdir /data/l/linux-cg; cd /data/l/linux-cg
+cg-init /data/l/linux-good
+
+. I do my work in linux-cg. If someone sends me nice patch I should
+pass up, I apply it to linux-good with nice message and do
+
+cd /data/l/linux-cg; cg-update origin
