What's with the long Subject: ?
Anyway, this patch fails to apply, it seems you want to just delete the
symlink, which you might need to tell git that you want to generate a
patch that does this. For how you do that, I don't really know, sorry.
If you want, just send a patch that does the proper thing for the
existing files to get everything to build correctly, and then tell me to
remove the symlink by hand, which I can do. That might be the easiest
thing to do here.
thanks,
greg k-h
