Hi Linus,

OK, I understand.

You happen to know if I can configure in my ~/.gitconfig to pull
linux-git stuff from two repositories - check first git.kernel.org
then GitHub.

Some days ago GitHub had some maintenance issues and I was not able to pull.
Means I trust more the security and integrity concept of git.kernel.org.

To pull from GitHub - saved 15-16mins of my life-time - meant
15-16mins go earlier to sleep - as said I started my build 01:02a.m.
(German local-time).

Thanks.
