Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!

+AACRAID Driver for Linux (take two)
+
+Introduction
+-------------------------
+The aacraid driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
+RAID controllers. This is a major rewrite from the original
+Adaptec supplied driver. It has signficantly cleaned up both the code
+and the running binary size (the module is less than half the size of
+the original).

+People
+-------------------------
+Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
+Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> (updates for new-style PCI probing and SCSI host registration,
+ small cleanups/fixes)
+Matt Domsch <matt_domsch@dell.com> (revision ioctl, adapter messages)
+Deanna Bonds (non-DASD support, PAE fibs and 64 bit, added new adaptec controllers
+ added new ioctls, changed scsi interface to use new error handler,
+ increased the number of fibs and outstanding commands to a container)
+
+ (fixed 64bit and 64G memory model, changed confusing naming convention
+ where fibs that go to the hardware are consistently called hw_fibs and
+ not just fibs like the name of the driver tracking structure)
+Mark Salyzyn <Mark_Salyzyn@adaptec.com> Fixed panic issues and added some new product ids for upcoming hbas.

+Also note this is very different to Brian's original driver
+so don't expect him to support it.
+Adaptec does support this driver. Contact either tech support or Mark Salyzyn.
