For a while, diffs in the Fedora kernel have followed the form

nvidia-agp.patch, percpu_counter_sum_cleanup.patch, xfs-barrier-fix.patch
etc etc.
Maybe I'm being overly anal. The linux-2.6- prefix is kind of pointless
(given that duh, they're all going to be against Linux 2.6), but it
does group things nicely in an ls output if nothing else.
So, what are peoples thoughts on this?
The linux-2.6 thing groups nicely for ls, but make tab complete a waste
of time, and is pretty pointless as you say.
nvidia-agp I apologise for, it just came with that name from upstream, I
meant to rename it to at least agp-nvidia.
I don't suppose we could use a subdirectory called patches if we want to
keep ls clean.. this being the 21st century :)
