Well, the libiberty entry (libiberty is the only auto-merge one) has a

It's a good starting point. For platform-specific files, the platform

"cvs log" will give you a detailed list of what changes were made to
specific files. I never said it would be easy. Fortunately, we don't
need the patches for MAINTAINERS since they're not currently syncable.

The ChangeLogs would need to be kept in sync at some point, too.
Somehow. A general cleanup of ./ChangeLog vs config/ChangeLog would
be a separate project.
