Let's ask Ajax whether he cares; the 7.1 is a katamari, so he shouldn't
be pulling anything but tarballs for the i810 driver. I think what we
need to do is figure out what we want for the 7.1 release and make sure
ajax has that release.

Right, this repository is just a sample of what the repository will look
like, not the final resting place for our shared development. X.org git
repositories live in a tree at /git/xorg/{lib,proto,driver}, so this
repository will be referred to as

git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel

I'm planning on building some scripts that create tarballs every day
when things change in any of the source repositories. Tarballs are a far
more efficient means for getting 'recent' bits; developers can be
expected to use the native SCM for each module they interact with. This
will eliminate variance for users when we do change SCMs.

This could be set up immediately and let people start using it before we
move any repositories; I know that non-developer access is a pain when
you have multiple different SCMs in force.

As maintainer, it's your call as to when we make this transition.
