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!

7 * Knuth recommends primes in approximately golden ratio to the maximum

9 * Chuck Lever verified the effectiveness of this technique:

12 * These primes are chosen to be bit-sparse, that is operations on
13 * them can use shifts and additions instead of multiplications for
14 * machines where multiplications are slow.
