Hi Andre,

Another thing I do when something I think should work doesn't is to make 
a fresh clone of the git repository, apply my new patch to it, and 
regenerate the patch from that.  Sometimes I get confused as to the 
state of my working directory, what has been applied to it, what I've 
pulled from, etc.  (I used to be really sharp, but then I discovered 
beer and the edges are a little duller now.)

FWIIW, I keep a local pristine copy of the denx.de master repository 
(and others I am interested in), doing a nightly pull in a cron job. 
This allows me to make a new working clone of what should be a clean 
repository without hammering denx.de.  Worst case, I hammer denx.de 
occasionally. :-/

Best regards,
gvb
