Hm.  I think if you add this as a remote to an existing repository
containing the kernel (these trees are based on v2.6.27 and v2.6.29
respectively) it should only pull the deltas (which aren't that
enormous).

It's hard to have a single name since carriers tend to use different
names in different markets.  We often start work on kernel support
long before a product is announced, so we've been using the fish names
to allow us to register board names with the ARM machine registry
early on and not use bogus internal-only machine IDs.

I didn't realize we had an android.txt already under Documentation.
Expanding it with more details sounds good to me.

halibut - Qualcomm SURF 7201A
trout - HTC Dream, Android ADP1, T-Mobile G1
sapphire - HTC Sapphire, HTC Magic

There may be some other names used by other carriers or in other regions.
