The dontdiff file is a relic from the pre-Git era that has little use now. It has entries (parse.c, for example) that will mask real changes to kernel source files. There are all kinds of entries for files we do not create anymore. Rather than try to fix it up, simply remove it. Update the kernel documentation (and translations) to remove references to this file. There is an ancient Japanese translation of SubmittingPatches that I am unable to update; that really needs a thorough redo.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
