I'm working on a port upgrade. The existing port has a number of patch files in FILESDIR that are no longer needed. (The changes they made have been incorporated into the distro.) What's the appropriate way to submit those changes? Normally, a send-pr submission will contain the patches for existing port files. There is no patch for these. They need to be removed.

I could do this: diff -Naur files/original_patch_file files/empty_file, but I don't know if that removes the file or simply replaces it with an empty one.
