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!

The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
|
|
Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
|
|
improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me the time and test resources to pursue
|
|
this project. Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help.
|
|
The IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
|
|
Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
|
|
for proving years ago that a very good smb/cifs client could be done on a Unix like
|
|
operating system. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John Newbigin
|
|
and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module over the years. Thanks to
|
|
the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
|
|
Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
|
|
thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
