Keep in mind Kernel.org uses caching on gitweb and thus gitweb itself is

be slightly out of sync with each other.

Ok, I understand.
I am talking about a 3 days old commit. Is this normal to have no update from the http side ?
I yes, I will wait...


You're trying to do a git pull via http (as opposed to gitweb)? Then that is dependent on the owner of the repository having enabled
"git update-server-info".

Overall, avoid pulling git via http. It's just plain broken.
