[time-nuts] Trying LinuxPPS - can't get 'git'

[Jason Rabel]

Is there a debug flag you can use with git that might give more info? Also
check your messages log for potential extra info.

You can get the PPS patches from the kernel.org server, it might take a
little manual tinkering as I do not think he has maintained it with the
latest kernel version.
