Indeed, if /usr/src/linux/patches was a file, the conflicts would be impossible to manage. But suppose it was a directory and each patch created a small description file in that directory. This would provide the desired information without having the big mess :-)
It's been suggested that config info be saved using the following:
<.config sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^[ ]*$/d' | gzip -9 >> image
The patch descriptions could be saved in a similar manner:
cat /usr/src/linux/patches/* | gzip -9 >> image
Alternatively, instead of outputting to image, one could output to /boot/patch-$KERNELVERSION, (or wherever)
