If you do not need to see the whole linux kernel history, a "shallow"
clone works, e.g.:

git clone --depth 100 git://rsbac.org/linux-3.10.y.git

See "git help clone" for further restrictions:
  --depth <depth>
   Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified
   number of revisions. A shallow repository has a number of limitations
   (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor into it), but is
   adequate if you are only interested in the recent history of a large
   project with a long history, and would want to send in fixes as
   patches.

I will keep trying to work around the git problem. git people also seem
to be aware of it.

Amon.
