I can think of a few cases where it might come in handy. For example, one of the devs is too busy (understandably) to roll a patch at a given point in time and states in response to a bug report that (s)he'll get linus to pull the fixes later on. In this case, people who like to live dangerously and don't want to wait might take it upon themselves to surf over to kernel.bkbits.net and download the ChangeSet rather than cloning an *entire* tree just to get it. I suppose this would also serve as a means for people who do not (or cannot) use bitkeeper to get said ChangeSet. Cheers, Nicholas
