Hi,

I have the habit of doing `make .config{.old,}' after each config run,
to see what was changed. But since a few weeks, `make oldconfig' no longer
seems to update `.config.old'.

This also breaks the default behavior of `scripts/diffconfig' (`If no
config files are specified, .config and .config.old are used.').

Was this change intentional?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
