Hi all
I have patches (xyz.patch files) which apply cleanly to kernel 2.6.36 and 2.6.36.1 and do not apply cleanly on 2.6.37-rc4 (I mean they do apply but with massive offsets...) I would like to forward-port them to 2.6.37-rc4, i.e. create equivalent patch files that would apply cleanly on 2.6.37-rc4 with zero offsets.


I found it myself, sorry for having asked.

It was:

checkout v2.6.36
apply 1 patch
commit
apply 1 patch
commit
...
rebase v2.6.37-rc4
git format-patch -o <destdir> -numpatches
