Linux-2.6.12-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!

+# namespace.pl. Mon Aug 30 2004
+#
+# Perform a name space analysis on the linux kernel.
+#
+# Copyright Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>. GPL.
+#
+# Invoke by changing directory to the top of the kernel object
+# tree then namespace.pl, no parameters.
+#
+# Tuned for 2.1.x kernels with the new module handling, it will
+# work with 2.0 kernels as well.
+#
+# Last change 2.6.9-rc1, adding support for separate source and object
+# trees.
+#
+# The source must be compiled/assembled first, the object files
+# are the primary input to this script. Incomplete or missing
+# objects will result in a flawed analysis. Compile both vmlinux
+# and modules.
+#
+# Even with complete objects, treat the result of the analysis
+# with caution. Some external references are only used by
+# certain architectures, others with certain combinations of
+# configuration parameters. Ideally the source should include
+# something like
+#
+# #ifndef CONFIG_...
+# static
+# #endif
+# symbol_definition;
+#
+# so the symbols are defined as static unless a particular
+# CONFIG_... requires it to be external.
+#
+# A symbol that is suffixed with '(export only)' has these properties
+#
+# * It is global.
+# * It is marked EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, either in the same
+# source file or a different source file.
+# * Given the current .config, nothing uses the symbol.
+#
+# The symbol is a candidate for conversion to static, plus removal of the
+# export. But be careful that a different .config might use the symbol.
+#
+#
+# Name space analysis and cleanup is an iterative process. You cannot
+# expect to find all the problems in a single pass.
+#
+# * Identify possibly unnecessary global declarations, verify that they
+# really are unnecessary and change them to static.
+# * Compile and fix up gcc warnings about static, removing dead symbols
+# as necessary.
+# * make clean and rebuild with different configs (especially
+# CONFIG_MODULES=n) to see which symbols are being defined when the
+# config does not require them. These symbols bloat the kernel object
+# for no good reason, which is frustrating for embedded systems.
+# * Wrap config sensitive symbols in #ifdef CONFIG_foo, as long as the
+# code does not get too ugly.
+# * Repeat the name space analysis until you can live with with the
+# result.
