Hi,

I'm working on developing some kernel drivers for the FPGA hardware I'm using in my research. I'd like to create a branch of the Linux Kernel on my personal git server and have it consistently be in sync with latest version. How would one go about setting up such a repo? I'm using gitosis to admin the git server and it is doing a great job hosting my other repos.

Just clone Linus' repo from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
and setup a daily cron job to pull changes from it - using git pull.
