Hi Harry,

(sorry for my late reply)

thanks for you help and I really appreciate your offer.
I've split up the patch for the staging directory into 27 patches, one for 
each affected directory, since this was the easiest way to split my big old 
patch ;)

As you know there's still the big "fix common spelling mistakes" patch for the 
trivial tree (i.e. everything but the staging directory) which is still 
pending, and probably won't apply anymore ;)
So it might be a good idea to split this one up as well, and for this your 
help comes handy.

If this is fine with Jiri I'd suggest this splitting:

One patch each for:
arch/
crypto/
fs/
include/
kernel/
lib/
mm/
net/
scripts/
security/
sound/

And for drivers/ one patch for each subsystem/directory,
with the exception of drivers/media/ - this one I'd split into 
media/dvb/
media/video/
and the remaining media


If you want to help me the easiest way would be that I update the patch to the 
current trivial tree and then send it to you, you apply it with patch (not git 
am) and then commit each subdirectory and write a nice commit message  and 
send it to the list ;) 

But I'd like to hear Jiri's opinion first.


Thanks,
Peter
