Odd - just for grins, I checked what 'make oldconfig' did when handed a .config
from 22-rc4-mm2, and it behaved just fine, much to my surprise.

That's probably because your old config file was relatively recent, and
had things like CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y in it.

Ahh... <light bulb goes on> Yeah, it gets a 'make oldconfig' for pretty
much every single -mm, I suck at any regression testing other than "since
the last -mm".


All my .configs have mouldered since I lost the ability to have .config be
a symlink to a revision-controlled file (used to carry a custom patch for
this, but it died).

I continue to believe that kbuild's lets-trash-your-symlink behaviour is
obnoxious, but I was unable to persuade anyone else of this.

I thought we fixed that long time ago?!?!
I am heading for vacation for 20 days without Internet (real vacation :-))
and have properly forget most about Linux and everything about this
issue when I return.
In the unlikely event that I recall it I will take a look when I'm back.

By the way - kbuild.git is lacking behind on patches.
I have several queded from other peopel and have more in the works myself.
This will not be looked into until I'm back.
