Hey.

Don't do that. Not all targets use the base-files configs and its a
nuissance to have local changes while trying to stay in sync with the repo.

The proper wqay to overlay the build with custom configs is to create a
toplevel files/ directory and put the configs there, e.g.

files/etc/rc.local
files/etc/config/network

and so on. Toplevel here means the directory where you run make in.
