   5 # When you move, remove or rename generated files, you probably also update
   6 # .gitignore and cleaning rules in the Makefile. This is the right thing
   7 # to do. However, people usually do 'git pull', 'git bisect', etc. without
   8 # running 'make clean'. Then, the stale generated files are left over, often
   9 # causing build issues.
  10 #
  11 # Also, 'git status' shows such stale build artifacts as untracked files.
  12 # What is worse, some people send a wrong patch to get them back to .gitignore
  13 # without checking the commit history.
  14 #
  15 # So, when you (re)move generated files, please move the cleaning rules from
  16 # the Makefile to this script. This is run before Kbuild starts building
  17 # anything, so people will not be annoyed by such garbage files.
  18 #
  19 # This script is not intended to grow endlessly. Rather, it is a temporary scrap
  20 # yard. Stale files stay in this file for a while (for some release cycles?),
  21 # then will be really dead and removed from the code base entirely.
