Yes, this was it. I made git pull and git revert and now I am up and 
kicking. But how will I manage with it not by git but by kernel org 
provioded files? And even if I used git all the time will I have to 
revert it each time and what's the worse I will become more and more out 
of sync because people will write their code as if I did not revert.

Thanks for your help. Regards,
