Advise caution about this in the tutorial that deals with flashing on top of Lenovo BIOS, citing the correct dd commands necessary if it is confirmed that the ROM has not been applied with dd yet. (in the case that the user compiled their own ROM's from libreboot, without using the build scripts, or if they forgot to use dd, etc). - Split resources/libreboot/patch/gitdiff into separate patch files (getcb script updated to accomodate this change). - Re-added .git files to bucts - Fixed the oversight where macbook21_firstflash wasn't included in binary archives

| | | | | | | Deleted all git-related files from the coreboot directory. This was necessary because with those it is possible to run 'git diff' which shows the changes made in the form of a patch (diff format); this includes the blobs that were deleted during deblobbing.
