This is the set of scripts that I originally wrote to create the historic linux kernel tree at https://archive.org/details/git-history-of-linux

The various tarballs/patches live in dirs relevant to their versions in the 'binaries' topdir. You will need to download them all from kernel.org, and put them in a directory structure that looks like..

0.x/ 1.0/ 1.1/ 1.2/ 1.3/ 1.99/ 2.0/ 2.1/ 2.2/ 2.3/ 2.4/

Changelogs where available, are pulled from the changelogs/ dir.

To generate the git tree, run these commands in order..

untar.sh make-diffs.sh import.sh

These will call the ancillary scripts for each branch.

You will need approximately 28G of disk space for the whole process.
