Hi all.

hp2:/usr/src/mm> git --version git version 2.43.0

I'm getting an odd warning from quiltimport:

hp2:/usr/src/mm> ls -l tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h -rw-rw-r-- 1 akpm akpm 54 Aug 1 15:43 tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h

hp2:/usr/src/mm> git quiltimport --series series tools-separate-out-shared-radix-tree-components.patch warning: tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h has type 100644, expected 100664

That patch has

diff --git a/tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h a/tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h
deleted file mode 100664
--- a/tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h
+++ /dev/null
@@ -1,2 +0,0 @@
-#include "bit-length.h"
-#define CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI 1




after quiltimport:

hp2:/usr/src/mm> ls -l tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h
ls: cannot access 'tools/testing/radix-tree/generated/autoconf.h': No such file or directory



I can't figure what I've done to make quiltimport (git-apply?) think that the file
had 100644 permissions.  Maybe the lack of an index line tripped it up.


(btw, "has type" should be "has permissions" in that message, no?)


Thanks.
