Sure, but in this case the boards were copied and my question is, how
these can be reviewed easily. Reducing 4500 line differences to less

How to best add new boards derived from existing board?

[ron minnich]

if they are truly identical, and all the code involved is identical,
and you're sure they will stay that way, you can always
reference ../otherboard/file.c in the Makefile ...
