I noticed the version naming has changed for the XFS patches. If there
wasn't a particular reason for this, let me throw in my two copper:
Instead of patch.2.4.8.xfs.2001-08-15.bz2, for example, it would be more
conventional to call it linux-2.4.8.xfs-2001-08-15.patch.bz2. The name
should start with the name of what it is you're patching, and end with
.patch.bz2 because that's what kind of file it is. In a directory full of
tarballs, it makes it easy to identify patches that apply to a given source.
I don't know if this is officially recommended by anything, I just know that
most every patch I've encountered follows this convention.
