Huh?  No, it is not.  It has the full kernel tree, plus a lot of crap like
the entire stable trees for 2.6.20 to 2.6.23, and a lot of the 2.6.16 stable
tree as well...

In fact, if you get branch release/2.6.23 from that repo right now, you will
get 2.6.23.14 with thinkpad-acpi 0.19-20080107 on top of it...

You can just pull from the relevant release branch, HOWEVER those branches
are rewond all the time.  Which means you have to drop them from your tree
before you pull from them again, or you will get clashes.  It is easy to do
if you always merge them LAST, though.
