I think I might try a separate repo on fedorapeople, and see if I can
get
it to work (there are limitations such as filespace that might cause
problems). I do intend to follow the suggested naming convention though in
case it makes sense to switch back to the canonical repository for some
reason.
You can certainly make a "thin" repository that only works if you have
.git/info/alternates pointing at a clone of the
pkgs.fedoraproject.org
kernel repo. I think it might even work to put the URL
git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/kernel in the alternates file,
but I'm not at all sure about that.
Thanks,
Roland
