At least there is some time before the 2.6.29 merge window. Btw, for the actual execution you may want to send a git patch rather than a normal patch, that would contain the renames rather than huge adds/removes. To do that, use "git format-patch -M", "git am" can take such a special patch, and it looks like this (example done on iw): diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 3fa0a83..74b2e16 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ CFLAGS += -O2 -g LDFLAGS += `pkg-config --libs libnl-1` NLVERSION = 1.0 -OBJS = iw.o info.o phy.o interface.o station.o util.o mpath.o reg.o mesh.o genl .o +OBJS = iw.o info-test.o phy.o interface.o station.o util.o mpath.o reg.o mesh.o genl.o ALL = iw ifeq ($(V),1) diff --git a/info.c b/info-test.c similarity index 100% rename from info.c rename to info-test.c johannes
