Kernel.Org bug in viewing of patches
Kernel.Org admins,
I was using the nifty patch viewing feature on the homepage when I noticed that in the per-file patch list for a given patch, the links generated are not correct. An example is the current ac patch view at:
Clicking on the link for drivers/net/3c59x.c actually leads to the patch for drivers/net/cs89x0.h. Similar problems appear to exist for viewing of the other patches as well, with different offsets in the file list.
Thanks for the cool viewer,
Rahul

The problem seems to be with diffstat, which occationally drops hunks -- resulting in the count being incorrect.

Kernel.Org admins,
I know that this is not the question, but why not delete the "unstable patch" line? it points to 2.5.8-pre3, it's wrong, since Linus isn't using now the -pre patches.
If Linus isn't going to use that field more, it has no sense not to delete it.
