Importing for-2.6.17 in svn might help svn users, although a quick
google search didn't find any script that can do this preserving history -
and I don't thing there'a a way to trigger this from git commit so
I guess you'll just have to do this from a cron job.

kernel.org has infrastructure to create and publish tarballs
periodically or triggered by user - this might be just as well
for anyone not interested in history: Roland, could it be possible to
make these available?

But keeping for-2.6.7 under branches/1.0 will just keep confusing people.
branches/for-2.6.17 will be more appropriate.
