 joe, it may not have been clear: there is nothing wrong - this is normal.

 i will repeat the instructions.

 you need to start by cloning from kernel.org, or github linux-sunxi,
or *ANYTHING* that doesn't start with "git clone http://" but starts
with "git clone git://" instead.

 followed by adding http://git.hands.com/linux.git *MANUALLY* to
.git/config (or if you know the command-line way, do that), and then
do a "git pull" from that manually-added location.

 to show you what is involved, here is the .git/config that i have.
you can see that it has *five* separate "remotes".  and because
everyone uses the same kernel tree (with the exact same commit history
further down the tree) this is *perfectly* possible.

 so, again:

 1) clone some random linux kernel repository.  it really doesn't
matter which one you clone: it can even be the one on kernel.org

 2) add a [remote] section as below

 3) do "git pull" from that to obtain the differences (the extra
objects) that will bring you up-to-date

 in this way you will *NOT* need to be pulling 1.2gbytes of crap over
a single HTTP connection which is quite likely to fail half-way
through the transfer.
