--- Comment #7 from James Darpinian <jdarpinian at gmail.com> ---
ANGLE updates can add and remove files. Simply copying an updated ANGLE into the WebKit repo will not remove files that should be removed. But we also can't simply remove all files that aren't in the new ANGLE, as WebKit adds its own files to various places in the directory hierarchy, and we should preserve those.

Manually preserving these files is tedious and error-prone. A script could do it, but the script would need a list of the files to preserve. The easiest thing to do would be to hardcode the list in the script, but the list would easily get out of date. It would be difficult to determine the list automatically. Moving upstream files to their own directory is a much easier solution, which has no downsides that I can see other than the fact that the patch is large. Are there other negative consequences that I'm not seeing?
