I have been confused by the "git move file" notation which I am not familiar with. So, I withdraw my previous objections. Now, I have to say that I am still not convinced by the change. After applying this patch, I can see that: #include "../common/cpld-gpio-bus.h" have been replaced with: #include <board-common/cpld-gpio-bus.h> While this change is fine, I can also see that the header file has been moved from: board/LaCie/common/cpld-gpio-bus.h to: board/LaCie/common/include/board-common/cpld-gpio-bus.h With both the strings "board" and "common" duplicated, I am definitively not a big fan of this new path. Moreover I think that moving the headers away from the board setup files will harm a little bit the code reading. Maybe it would be better to have a shorter path like: board/LaCie/include/board-common/cpld-gpio-bus.h Anyway, IMHO things are fine as they are. But if anyone thinks this change is needed or valuable, then I am OK with it. Thanks, Simon
