 Updating the upstream source
 ============================
 
-1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org
-   (ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2) and, optionally, a patch
-   (i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
-
-2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]. This will produce
-   ../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
+1) You can use either:
+   a) a git repository of the kernel source
+   b) a kernel tarball from kernel.org (ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2)
+      and, optionally, a patch (i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
+
+2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <repository>
+   or  ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]
+   This will produce ../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
    (i.e. linux-2.6_2.6.26~rc3.orig.tar.gz).
 
 3) Unpack linux-2.6-<version>.orig.tar.gz, cd into the new directory,
