OK, I wasn't aware that developers working on the Linux kernel preferred to start with the tarball rather than fork from Linus's git tree or the git tree of some other kernel developer. If that is the case, then it's fair to say that they are distributing the code in the same form they received it, which is also the preferred form for making further changes.

The git tree is the source code Posted Nov 12, 2012 15:59 UTC (Mon) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] It may be surprising, but yes, not all developers use Git. That's well-known fact. And the ones who use it not always use replica of the official repo. It's hard to find out solid numbers, of course.
