Laura Abbott	523d987dc7	Add script to remove binary diffs Once upon a time, the kernel was just a series of patches. These days, git manages most of the kernel. git can do many useful things, such as maintain binary files. Binary file changes are not easily expressed in patches and can't be applied without using git. Remove the binary diffs from any snapshot or -rc patches. We will eventually pick up the changes/deletions in the final release tarball.	2016-10-12 13:37:37 -07:00

Add script to remove binary diffs

Once upon a time, the kernel was just a series of patches. These days,
git manages most of the kernel. git can do many useful things, such as
maintain binary files. Binary file changes are not easily expressed in
patches and can't be applied without using git. Remove the binary diffs
from any snapshot or -rc patches. We will eventually pick up the
changes/deletions in the final release tarball.
