It is used for things like the tcpdump, ping and traceroute. In the past (svn
times) it was just a links from batctl to batman-adv. But after the switch to
git it was decided that both should be kept in sync manually but checked
automatically.
I would like to give you the mini-check script but I don't have it. And I
don't have access to the servers anymore. But it is basically checkout of
master, maint and next of batctl+batman-adv and some calls to cmp (or diff?)
to check if both files are the same. A mail is sent [1] to a mailing list.
Someone has to merge the missing changes manually.
Btw. thanks for taking your time to cleanup things.
Kind regards,
Sven
