| |
Gents,
In the following kernel commits,
9c587c05d715ca8461342c2cb3b4a67036b5c22b ea5abbd215b749b2ff14397a47a5e65741c67bf4 cc890cd78acd7ab03442907d354b6af34e973cb3
the file ...$platform/mach/gpio.h is replaced with an empty file. This disagrees with kernel tradition and kernel makefiles, where zero length files are intentionally deleted when "make distclean" is executed.
As a result, git sequences such as "make distclean ; git checkout master" may fail, because several files are present in the index but not on disk, making it appear as if modifications have been made:
$ git checkout master D arch/arm/mach-lpc32xx/include/mach/gpio.h D arch/arm/mach-tegra/include/mach/gpio.h D arch/arm/mach-u300/include/mach/gpio.h
An update, either (a) making these files non-zero length or (b) deleting the files in git would be appreciated. Reading the commit descriptions, it appears (a) is the correct path?
Jeff
