[ken at newred tmp]$ bk clone http://cifs.bkbits.net:8080/

I haven't used BitKeeper before. (I'm normally a Subversion user/admin and 
have admin'd other version control systems before.) Am I using this right?

I downloaded http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.20c-2.6.tar.gz 
but that doesn't have the text "directio" anywhere in the source. But I 
test-compiled it with:

cd /tmp
tar xvfz cifs-1.20c-2.6.tar.gz
cd /tmp/linux-2.6/fs/cifs
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/build M=`pwd` modules

Presumably given the right tree, I can just redo that and install the .ko 
file in the right directory in /lib/modules. Anything else to worry about?
