Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-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!

+Original Author
+===============
+Steve French (sfrench@samba.org)
+
+The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
+Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
+improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me the time and test resources to pursue
+this project. Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help.
+The IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
+Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
+for proving years ago that a very good smb/cifs client could be done on a Unix like
+operating system. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John Newbigin
+and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module over the years. Thanks to
+the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
+Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
+thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
