I just tried to apply to vanilla 2.6.24 and 25 - since 
setting unknown or unstable branch on the server is 
a "little" dangerous :)

Will try it! - Do you think that squid 3.1 is stable enough? 
I have to use it in production environment...

the first squid3 STABLE1 (if I'm not wrong) did not have 
tproxy support... will try!

Thanks for instructions, thats clearer now :) 
Just strange for me - with SVN I could get a tree in a 
minutes, git already giving indexing for a few hours... 
looks it's not satellite-link (latency) - frendly... :)
But As i userstang - it would bring ALL of the versions and 
changes available on the check time?

Sincerely,
Anton.
