You should be sending patches against my repo, or something derived from it, which therefore has the correct file permissions for these files. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
