I have a farm of MIPS, PPC, and IA32 machines that I need to keep running from a common current source tree. The recent mips update into 2.4.2pre2 (thankyouthankyouthankyou...) has helped in this task, but the diff between any 2.4.2pre[n>=2] or 2.4.1-ac[n>=9] tree vs the MIPS cvs tree is still huge, and painful to cull through to wind up with a sane mips patch (should be fairly small since the update into 2.4.2pre2) against a 2.4.*{pre*|-ac*} tree. A sync of mips cvs to any 2.4.1{pre*|-ac*} kernel post 2.4.2pre2 would be of great use, but I don't know how much pain that entails for the maintainers. In lieu of that, can anyone clue me in to newbie tricks (CVS or otherwise) for syncing 2 trees less painfully than culling diffs? TIA, ...jfree
