Hi, Linus & Marcelo agreed that the right place for this is

        bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.4

and I just put it there, let me know if that doesn't work.

Also, if you have a linux-2.5 BK tree, you can save yourself a lot of
bandwidth by doing the following:

        bk clone -rv2.4.18-pre8 linux-2.5 linux-2.4
        cd linux-2.4
        bk parent bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.4
        bk pull

That will get you back to the baseline you should already have and
then just update your tree with what Marcelo added recently.

You don't have to do that, and for those of you with fast DSL lines you
can skip, I don't care, but if you are trying to get a 2.4 tree over a
modem, this is much much faster.
