Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-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!

Linux Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) subsystem
=============================================
The main development site and CVS repository for these
drivers is http://linuxtv.org/.
The developer mailing list linux-dvb is also hosted there,
see http://linuxtv.org/lists.php. Please check
the archive http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/
and the Wiki http://linuxtv.org/wiki/
before asking newbie questions on the list.
API documentation, utilities and test/example programs
are available as part of the old driver package for Linux 2.4
(linuxtv-dvb-1.0.x.tar.gz), or from CVS (module DVB).
We plan to split this into separate packages, but it's not
been done yet.
