Dear diary, on Thu, Jul 21, 2005 at 01:49:04AM CEST, I got a letter
where Wolfgang Denk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> told me that...

They certainly aren't.

> diff --git a/mkconfig b/mkconfig
> old mode 100644
> new mode 100755
> diff --git a/tools/img2brec.sh b/tools/img2brec.sh
> old mode 100644
> new mode 100755
> ...

And did the changes apply? :-)
The message is surely confusing, but appeared to be rather corner-casy
and after I imagined the required complexity of filtering this, I
decided to spend my time on something more useful for the time being. :)
