It's a clone of Jonathan Corbet's gitdm script; the U-Boot configuration can be found at [1].

[1] http://git.denx.de/?p=gitdm.git

looks good. I expect there was consideration to keep these config files out of the main repo.

Full circle, nice.

So has anybody any suggestions what to do?

The problem I see is that we need yet another non-standard tool (gitdm) which AFAICT is not part of the standard distros. Including this into U-Boot seems not attractive to me; keeping it outside (as I'm doing it now) means you need the config files outside the U-Boot tree as well.

OK, sorry, let me try and be smarter. Can we "just" store the gitdm config file in U-Boot proper? Would that be OK with you if we can?

Of course we can do that (actually it's two files, "u-boot-config/aliases" and "u-boot-config/domain-map").

and gitdm.config right? (not sure if that sample-config/filetypes.txt is used)

Actually it's even more involved. There are also patches to database.py and gitdm.config ...

Ah, and now I see the other details. Yes, if there's stuff out of tree in "gitdm" that would be needed to use it here, then no, it doesn't make sense to try and put the config files under doc/ or something in U-Boot proper. But perhaps we need a link off the ReleaseCycle page to point at the copy of gitdm you use? Thanks!
