Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:37:02 -0700 From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...otime.net> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> CC: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Javi Merino <javi.merino@....com>, Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Documentation: mention scripts/diffconfig tool From: "Javi Merino" <javi.merino@....com> Documentation: Mention scripts/diffconfig as a tool to compare config files The kconfig documentation suggests using plain 'diff' to compare config files and then adds "Yes, we need something better here". "a717417 kconfig: add diffconfig utility" added what that comment was looking for.
