I tweaked this some more. I found that I'd have had to have done that rm -rf every day when I rebased, which is less than fun. So now the 'vanilla' dir has the version postfixed to it. The downside is that this means that the kernel-2.6.23/ dir will get a bit cluttered over time with lots of symlink'd trees in your local checkouts, but it will dtrt. There's room for a further optimisation which I'm too lazy to do right now, and that's to have a separate vanilla-$ver dir for both the -rc and the -git if present. This way rebasing to a new -git will use the previous vanilla-rc tree if present instead of regenerating it from scratch. the %prep is also getting a bit messy with all of this hackery, so I'll probably end up cleaning it all up when I get around to doing that optimisation. Seems to work right now though.
