Can you please create a git tree mirror on git.kernel.org?

Hi Alex:

I see that xfs,xfsprogs,xfstests,dmapi all have a mirror on git.kernel.org before kernel.org went down. Now, kernel.org goes on without the mirrors, so, can you create them now? I think someone will need them like me. Isn't it?

Just use the trees on oss.sgi.com - they are the "official" XFS trees that releases are made from, anyway.

It's sure thing. Maybe it's an issue just for me because I can't access oss.sgi.com, so sad.

You know that our Chinese often can't access some sites because of the GFW(Great Fire Wall).

But you are obviously able to send email to it :/

As it is, I'm not sure we're going to put those trees back on kernel.org - there's been no discussion I've seen about doing this, and the absence of the trees hasn't hurt us at all thanks to Alex pushing stuff into the oss.sgi.com trees quickly.

And FWIW, I'm not planning on putting my dev trees back on kernel.org any time soon - too many hoops to jump through now. I'll probably use github or some other site for doing that when the need arises.

I'd like to put them back. Right now it means we have a single point of failure, and overload Alex who is pretty busy already.

Of course we'd need all the regular contributors to have access, otherwise a shared repository is rather pointless.

The repositories are now back in place, but not the primary repositories for commits yet, although I have updated them with all commits from the SGI repositories.
