Ok I got that. When I say 'make' I get something like "only links and tags",
which looking at the Makefile in src/arch/atari doesn't surprise me...
Is this really all I need ?

So this can't be the whole story I think. Also I would like to know in
what format updates to the source are spread. 
Wouldn't it be better for me to get the whole Repository (from somewhere)
and then later on diffs thereof, then this large tar file ?

Nat!
