> This option allows the 'make autoconf.mk' step to run against a former
> repo state, while the savedefconfig step runs against the current repo
> state. This is convenient for the case where something in the Kconfig
> has changed such that the defconfig is no longer complete with the new
> Kconfigs. This feature allows the .config to be built assuming those old
> Kconfigs, but then savedefconfig based on the new state of the Kconfigs.
>
> If in doubt, always specify this switch. It will always do the right
> thing even if not required, but if it was required and you don't use it,
> the moved configs will be incorrect. When not using this switch, you
> must very carefully evaluate that all moved configs are correct.
