That's maybe not one of the best examples as Andrew always puts tarballs with 
the broken-out patches on www.kernel.org, too.

* I'm wondering whether url fetching and fetching an entire series file
  shouldn't just be added to the import command, as that would improve
  import at the same time.
* curl needs a configure.ac check.

Thanks,
