Restarting the rsync worked as expected. The clone --reference worked very nicely.

As your suggestion gave me a copy of Linus' tree I also tried following the git

linuxpps. After a bit of playing I now have a git generated patch for kernel I 
am playing with instead of my manually generated patch.
