My issue was super annoying for me because I was sending find output to a script and it was almost mailing the correct people because it was using git output. I had to debug for a long time before I spotted the difference between ./drivers/media/radio/wl128x/fmdrv_common.c and drivers/media/radio/wl128x/fmdrv_common.c. I feel like I have seen this before and just manually added the correct mailing lists back. It's crazy annoying and easy to do. > Using a combination of CWnd abs_fast_path and $lk_path > is probably better.  $lkpath is set to './' by default. I have no idea what this means... It sounds like a good idea though. :) Please give me Reported-by credit. regards, dan carpenter
