f875a1a665 [PATCH] README update from the stone age
We have no options which the user can set in the Makefile.  Only the
EXTRAVERSION, which is also useful in place of the "backup modules"
suggestion.

We don't have configuration options in the top Makefile.

896e5518da [PATCH] Add text for dealing with "dot releases" to README
The emergence of so-called "dot releases" that are non-incremental patches
against a base kernel requires different handling of patches (revert
previous patches before applying the newest one).  This patch adds a
paragrach to $TOPDIR/README explaining how to do deal with dot release
patches.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
