What I'd like to do is change all kernels that include a
GENERIC.local to use cinclude instead, and then drop GENERIC.local
from the CVS. The reason for this is to avoid having local
modifications to files that are strictly designed to modified locally
and never committed. Otherwise, having stuff added to these
generates noise during, e.g. 'cvs update', and you know that an
innocent 'cvs commit' in the incorrect directory will end up
committing local stuff to the tree that will have to be reverted
later on.
The point of the files however, is to make it obvious to the users
that this
option is available to them. Isn't there another way you could
avoid your
commit issues, such as a cvs ignore or something on that file?
I fear that if you remove it, nobody will know they can use it.
