Well, this means that your patch series doesn't actually *compile* as a series. In other words, it's a pointless series, since the individual patches just generate a non-working kernel, until they have all been applied. So I really meant that each patch should be generated with "git diff -M", and you'd have a series of patches that are all working and move one part of the tree at a time (with Makefile changes etc integrated). Also, in case you didn't notice, it's also perfectly fine to have "impure" moves, ie a move that not only renames something, but also changes something (commonly the comments at the top of the file). Maybe you simply didn't have anything like that, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you tried to avoid it on purpose. The reason I really want the whole series to be compileable is that especially with a lot of people using "git bisect", if you have something that doesn't compile in the middle, not only does it show that the series wasn't a series, it also means that you cannot automate the bisect and you need manual intervention.
