Then, please don't complain that you have "to do everything on your 
own and nobody helps you" ;) I would prefer that changes are done by 
the board maintainers and not by the custodian, though.

I'm not sure that this works for non-custodians. Custodians can do 
git-rename and then send a patch to the mailing list. When a custodian 
sends such a patch, it is mainly for review only, and not to be 
applied somewhere (because it is already in git).

This results then in something

cpu/sa1100/{interrupts.c => timer.c}             |    5 +-
rename cpu/arm925t/{interrupts.c => timer.c} (99%)

(from [1]). But this is only what normally 'diffstat' generates and 
what is totally ignored by 'patch' . I.e. in the part of the patch 
which is handled by 'patch' this info is totally missing. As far as I 
know 'patch' itself can't deal with file rename any other way than 
remove one file and create the other one with

--- u-boot-main.orig/cpu/arm_cortexa8/omap3/interrupts.c
+++ /dev/null

--- /dev/null
+++ u-boot-main/cpu/arm_cortexa8/omap3/timer.c

So it's my understanding that non-custodians have to send a patch 
which can be applied everywhere by everyone by 'patch' utility, i.e. 
the part 'patch' deals with contains all information necessary.

Do I miss anything?

Best regards

Dirk
