Re: Digging through old vendor code

The vendor gave me an edited file with support for their device. The
original was copied from the kernel somewhere around 2.6.15 and then
edited. Nobody remembers what the source file was but there are a
couple of fairly close matches.

Diffing against the current kernel mixes the two sets of changes -
what the vendor did and what changed in the core kernel. I'm sorting
this out by hand but it is 3,000 lines of diffs.

It is an interesting problem to use the git history to try and
discover the original source file.
