Chris' mail made that somehow superfluous but anyhow.  I have a Python
script to update my Linux tree.  It's attached.

It automatically adds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.x.y as a
remote as soon as v2.6.x is seen in Linus' repo and then fetches 2.6.16,
2.6.(last - 1) and 2.6.last.  If you want to fetch all, change 

	for stable in (16, last_stable - 1, last_stable):

in

	for stable in xrange(16, last_stable + 1):

The location of the repo is hardcoded to $HOME/gsrc/linux-2.6, but I
think everyone with a bit of intuition should be able to change that ...

So it's not a "git pull" for me, but "update-linux".

Best regards
Uwe
