I am sorry - I did not mean to be careless/sloppy.
I totally understand, but I truly burnt so much time on finding a
reasonable way to split this patch that I had to give up at some point.
I get your input, but do you think that turning it into 35 patches of 1
file each (just as a random example), will make it easier to digest?
Anyway, I will give it another try (the test robot complained about
something, so it seems I need to resend the patch anyway) and I'll see
where I land.
Cheers!
