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!

+ This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
+ (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
+ (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
+
+ The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
+ to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
+ crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
+ at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
+ is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
+
+ Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
+ of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
+ between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
+ file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
+ system.
+
+ To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
+ behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
+ tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
+ file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
+ e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
+ (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

+ This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files

+ is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
+ cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
+ directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
+ no alignment restrictions.
+
+ Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
+ much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
+ you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
+ storms. This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
+ system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
+ feature.
+
+ For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.
+
+ If unsure, say N. This reduces the size of the NFS client, and

+ This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System

+ file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
+ and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
+ server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Currently
+ you must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
+ such as Windows 9x and OS/2.
+
+ The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced

+ including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
+ session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
+ packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
