Hi,
When I do a git pull to get the latest changes (from v5.2) , git status shows the following files as untracked:
scripts/conmakehash scripts/pnmtologo scripts/sortextable
I don't see the files in .gitignore too but in the earlier version i.e. v5.2 it is present. These files are binaries, should I go ahead and delete them?
And to add to my reply: How to figure this out for yourself since you already have a git tree... For the first two, I did a 'git grep conmakehash', which told me it was in a different Makefile. 'git blame drivers/tty/vt/Makefile | grep conmakehash' popped out the commit for 'git show'... The last one I had to resort to 'git log | grep -B30 sortextable | more'
