stable kernel tree

The only constant path I have would be using git:
git clone --depth 1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
You won't be able to use this like a standard git repo, if you have that need, but it should fetch the latest version.
This is the closest surely "stable" version I know of.
Corrections from the list are welcome.
