So the COPYING file is currently listed to be "ignored" by git (at least when untracked) and that seems to bother someone or something. So I guess an extra hunk to this patch is wanted: diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 418bdfaebf..4eb602480a 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -195,6 +195,7 @@ tools/hotplug/NetBSD/rc.d/xendriverdomain tools/include/acpi tools/include/_libxl*.h tools/include/xen/* +!tools/include/xen/COPYING tools/include/xen-xsm/* tools/include/xen-foreign/*.(c|h|size) tools/include/xen-foreign/checker Cheers, -- Anthony PERARD
