It's the "must be pushed/fetched explicitly" part that I couldn't figure
out back when I tried it.

I inherited this tree from somebody who made it. I noticed its existence
because lwn.net covered it, and then 6 months later it had vanished
without trace (as so many things do). I reproduced it from the build
script (if you can't reproduce the experiment from initial starting
conditions, it's not science), went "look, cool thing", and hosted a
copy with an occasional repaint.

I would be _thrilled_ to hand it off to somebody who knows what they're
doing with git. I'm just unusually interested in computer history and
the preservation thereof. (https://landley.net/history/mirror).
