I'm running

 uname -a
   Linux TEST 2.6.33-rc6-12-xen #1 SMP 2010-02-05 18:11:23 +0100
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and have,

 ls -al /usr/src | grep rc6
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   19 2010-02-07 09:53 linux -> linux-2.6.33-rc6-12
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2010-02-06 07:04 linux-2.6.33-rc6-12/
  drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 2010-02-06 01:09 linux-2.6.33-rc6-12-obj/

I'd like to experiment with *this* kernel and latest/unstable btrfs.

Although the btrfs wiki
(http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories)
refers to a 'standalone' btrfs source tree, it's apparently ~ 1 year
out of date, and no longer maintained.  Afaict, the latest btrfs
sources are only available in

 git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git
 git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git

that pull a complete kernel tree ...

Reading Git docs/howtos, I note: "With Git it is not possible to pull
only a single directory, because of the hash code nature of Git, you
must take all or nothing.", so I guess I'm stuck with pulling the
whole non-opensuse kernel tree, and either patching it with opensuse's
patches etc, or extracting all (?) the btrfs-unstable bits, and
swapping them into the opensuse kernel sources.

What would be the "right procedure" for extracting the btrfs &
btrfs-progs sources from the kernel.org trees, and building the
module/progs against my in-place, fully-patched, opensuse kernel's
sources?
