Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

61 | The syncppp drivers in Linux provide a fairly complete | ||
62 | implementation of Cisco HDLC and a minimal implementation of | ||
63 | PPP. The longer term goal is to switch the PPP layer to the | ||
64 | generic PPP interface that is new in Linux 2.3.x. The API should | ||
65 | remain unchanged when this is done, but support will then be | ||
66 | available for IPX, compression and other PPP features | ||
