I have cloned git://xenbits.xen.org/people/ianc/device-tree-rebasing.git. .git is 843MB in size and after a 'git checkout v3.13' I see a vanilla v3.13 checked out.

My concerns are only about the size of the repository. Of cause if you're willing to wait long enough that problem is orthogonal. But anyway, what I cloned from your repository is likely not what it should look like.
