Question about a patch

[Valerio Daelli]

Hi

I am about to send a patch about a port. I would like to move a file
of the port, located in the
'files/' directory. Basically the file now is called netdisco.sh.in
and I would like to call it
netdisco.in.
If I use a normal 'diff -ruN' command to generate the patch, after I
apply the patch
the new file is created but the old file (netdisco.sh.in) is still
there, with zero size.
I wonder if I should generate a shar archive for this port instead of a patch.
Sorry if this question is so simple.
Bye
