Re: basics... when reading docs doesn't help

Seems to be trivial but:
Why don't you use "make O=/foo/bar/arch<x>-config<y>" to put output
files into separate directories? So you can have one source tree and
put each different kernel config and arch into a separate output
directory.

And if you have different sources for you trees put them into branches.

When switching between branches, atime of files are updated accordingly.
So even make should be happy with that.

Just one drawback:
Switching back and forth between two branches will cause
recompilation of sources that differ between that branches -
although nothing might have changed within a branch in the meantime.

Exactly, and since I have not only different configs, but also different 
versions, and I don't commit all modifications, so... It would be 
difficult. I think, the setup with "clone -l -s" should be the best.

Thanks to all for ideas
