For example to obtain the maverick tree:

    {{{
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git
}}}

This will download some 300MB of data. If you have a virgin Linus tree locally you can significantly reduce the size of this download through object sharing. Note that once these two trees are tied together you cannot remove the virgin Linus tree without damage to the Ubuntu tree:

    {{{
git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git
