This may sound easier, but keep in mind that in practice it is
significantly harder.  Remember how dirty are the opengl patches?

With my recipe all you need to do to get a clean patch is to run it through

  egrep -v "^(Binary|Only) "

With your recipe one needs to remove manually all the chunks for
autogenerated, backup files, test outputs, and other junk.
