OK. But now is basically the worst time for me (or anyone else) to merge large code-motion changes like this, because they need to be carried for two months or more. And even though git can track renames, putting them into a git tree (say, git-kbuild) won't help, because if some other git tree tries to modify a file in its original place, I get to fix up the fallout. Which I _could_ do, and would do if the patches were particularly risky or added/changed functionality or whatever. But they don't do that, and there is little advantage in maintaining them for the >2 months. So. Please redo and resend the patches when we hit 2.6.25-rc6 or so? Thanks. (linux-next will largely fix all this: git will take care of the renames and I'll just base the -mm queue on the consolidated linux-next. But we aren't there yet). -- 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/
