Thanks for the hint.

I fixed the missing commit, but in this case the stand alone tree is
actually generated from the full kernel tree and has an alternates entry
pointing to the full kernel tree. The end result was not at all good
for http clones.

So I've redone the stand alone tree a bit and it is now a clone of the
clone of the second child of the 3rd son of the original unstable tree.
Hopefully it'll work better, at least http clones work for me now.
