Seems a pretty difficult task - savedefconfig strips everything that is default, so how can it know which comments to keep and which to remove? > > > >undo changes with 'git checkout -p configs/beaglebone_defconfig'. > > > > >> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y > >> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y > >> > >-BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT___REPO_URL="git://github.com/__koenkooi/linux.git >" > >> > >-BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT___VERSION="linux-ti33x-psp-3.2-__r5a+__gitr09e9651bcf2ee8d86685f2a807__5bc6557b1d3b91" > >> > >+BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT___REPO_URL="git://git.ti.com/ti-__linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.__git >" > > >> > >+BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT___VERSION="__935f6c2f82056d538b528272e2bdbb__5c08d69a58" > > > >Isn't there a tag you can clone from?
