Hi Linda,

your misunderstanding, git.kernel.org is a site where several git 
repositories are hosted, no the kernel source tree ;-). The 
fs/xfs/xxx.git is the path of the git-repository of the xfs-tools, i 
doesn't mean it's in the kernel source in the directory fs/xfs ...
Even the sources for ext2 ( 3, 4 ), btrfs, jfs, reiserfs et al. are not 
part of the Linux source tree, so what made you thinking that?

Cheers
Klaus
