Ummm... no.
This whole conversation exists because "Deleting the EXTRAVERSION setting from linux/Makefile" then making new diffs/tars was screwed up. Doing it with a script isn't going to help this kind of problem.
I repeat: it isn't a "release candidate" if it will not match preciely what the final tarball/patches contains. Anything else opens up the possibility for errors to be made. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
