2005-06-13Update DCO ("signoff") rules to 1.1Linus Torvalds
This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will possibly get archived and re-distributed.

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!
