Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 08:02:13 -0700 From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@....cx> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...l.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Make Andrew's life easier Andrew recently complained that feature-removal-schedule.txt is always generating conflicts. The reason is clear; everybody adds to the bottom of the file. The solution he proposed is to place entries at random places in the file. However, we can make the tools work for us here quite simply by adding a separator at the bottom of the file. Then diff produces a patch which contains no meaningful context and patch will happily put new entries into the file in a random order. Unfortunately, git-cherry-pick won't, but I don't think Andrew uses it, so he'll be happy anyway. This will fail if people subsequently fail to add a separator at the bottom of a file. But then those people can be legitimately grumped at.
