Hi Michael
There is a flag you can pass to git which will make it issue a rename,
rather than delete and then add. That will make the patch much
smaller.
net-next is closed at the moment.
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
Once it reopens, please send a v3, and it will be merged.
Thanks
Andrew
