John Crispin 45e3540a3f config: Remove KERNEL_GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option
The GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option adds the --reference argument to the
git clone kernel command line, if KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI is set.

This option is intended to speed-up the repo creation by using local
objets rather than downloading it. However, a local repo can be cloned
much faster by setting GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY directly to the local tree.

In that case, git clone will bypass the normal "git aware" transport
mechanism and clone the repository by copying and hardlinking objects
rather than downloading it, resulting in a significant speed increase.

That makes the GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option pretty useless so we'll just
remove it and recommand the usage of KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI directly.

README

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl
make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
system via tftp.

The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
