OK, thanks! I'm still quite a git-nubie. I'll update all the move patches. It may take a bit of hand work. What I really did to do this patch series was to make all my changes in git. But the changes where not smooth from change set to change set. So I did one big git-diff, and then used good old midnight commander (mc) to parse the patches.

The old kind of "remove file" + "add > file" patch just isn't acceptable when there are very viable alternaties. I wish I knew this before breaking it up. But I'm sure I can do another big patch and automate these updates :) -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
