This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.
Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/
Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
filesystem it needed to read.

Believe it or not, but in fs/minix/*, the oldest filesystem in the kernel,
something still can be fixed:
printk("new_inode: bit already set");
"\n" is missing!
While at it, I also removed periods from the end of error messages and made
capitalization uniform. Also s/i-node/inode/, s/printk (/printk(/

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!
