Something weird happened when I re-uploaded things. Apparently hitting
Ctrl-C if when you are uploading and realized you forgot to clone from
Linus's repository is fatal to how git.kernel.org manages things. Last
I checked I could not even delete the broken repository.

Can you please switch to linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl.git instead of
sysctl-2.6.git.

With a little luck I will have something interesting in there this
round.

Thanks,
Eric
