Not sure what you mean... You can get raw commitdiff by adding '.patch' to the URL above: https://github.com/jcmvbkbc/linux-xtensa/commit/edd7c14132388d5c09c57cf12c76c6631a1e0277.patch -- Thanks. -- Max -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
