My poor try to create a script that helps refactoring the patch directories for Armbian (kernel) patches.

Well if refactoring them by hand take forever I can use the same amount of time to create a script that does the job for me....which will probably take forever as well. So everything is good.

Dependencies:

• Python 3.8.2 or higher (did not test any other version)
• via apt: patchutils

How to use:

0. Backup your patch folder.
1. Put the refactor.py in the folder above your patch folder (not inside!).
2. Run it.
3. Follow the instructions.
4. Did you backup your patch folder?

Sample output:

I can filter this list and show only files that are
target of multiple patches so you could merge them.
Should I do that? (y/n) y
