Thanks Tamas, I've pushed it to 'next'.

You could have used 'git rm' for that. On the other hand it
would have created a much bigger patch, with more than one
thousand lines being deleted. I tried to search for an
option in 'git format-patch' which would not list the whole
file being deleted, and just say "this file was deleted".
Git already does that when detecting renames...

I have a secret to tell. Currently my git repo is not expected to
compile in a non-linux system because of the 'inotify' patch.
That patch btw requires more work to be more 'correct' in the way
it handles signals, but that is beyond my energy ATM and it
has worked fine for me in the last year.

A while ago when my repo was "just mine" I wasn't worried
about the linux-only issue (and I guess it is gcc-only too,
due to a cleanup which I used a gcc extension for 'case'
ranges).

But I would rather wait for people who care about old or
non-linux systems to get involved and send patches to fix
their compilation problem then do it myself now. Perhaps
they can even report/fix new issues which we don't even
dream of :-)
