Directory restructure?

Directory restructure?

[David Woodhouse]

It's getting a bit cluttered... I'm pondering the wisdom of rearranging it 
into something like...

drivers/mtd/chips - CFI, JEDEC, ROM, RAM, amd_flash, etc.
drivers/mtd/maps - all the map drivers
drivers/mtd/devices - all-in-one drivers like mtdram, doc2000, etc.
drivers/mtd/users - nftl,ftl,mtdblock,mtdchar etc.

Then there's the core code and the helper stuff like mtdpart.c and 
redboot.c - maybe that and the 'users' code should all remain in 
drivers/mtd - there's not too much of that.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Fine with me.

Hopefully you can play that game directly within the repository so not to
lose log history.

That's the plan, yes.

There is no clean way of moving files in cvs and retaining history :( it's
one of the (few) bad things with cvs (another is that you cannot really
use -D to check out an old version cleanly).

I think the closest you can get is to cp the ,v files to the new place
and then do cvs rm on the original files (so you can restore an earlier
version if you want). If you do plain mv you screw that up (as well as any
person who has a checkout).

You'll need to manually remove the tags from the cp'ed files though,
otherwise you'll get problems backing up as well (you'll get duplicates).

It's done. I haven't yet fixed up the Makefile - I'll do it tomorrow if 
nobody's beaten me to it.
