  • First of all, thanks to Bob Tracy and
    Michael Cree for testing.
    Especially to Bob, as he has done titanic multi-day git-bisect
    work that finally helped to reproduce and nail down the bug
    (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457).

    [ev6-]stxncpy.S: it's t12, not t2 register that is supposed to contain
    the last byte offset upon return. As a result of wrong register use
    (which was my fault back in 2003, IIRC), under some circumstances extra
    terminating zero bytes were added to destination string. This particularly
    led to incorrect DEVPATH strings generated in uevent and therefore to udev
    problems.

    strncpy.S: unrelated bug I found while testing the above fix - destination
    is not properly zero-padded then a byte count exceeds source length.
    Actually this is addition to strncpy fix from last year.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
