Hi, Stephen,

Just a note to say that the move of the powerpc docs under Documentation/arch showing up in in docs-next shortly adds a conflict with the powerpc tree, which adds a new file (kvm-nested.rst) to the old directory. The fix is just to add it in the new location.

Thanks,

jon

So git is quite clever. It recognized a file created in a directory that was moved and just moved it there. All I had to do was "git add -A ." and commit it. (now to see if I can automate that :-))

This is now a conflict between the kvm-ppc tree and Linus' tree.
