Can someone explain the contrib & gnu/usr.{bin,sbin} source trees
please?

For example, both contrib/ and gnu/usr.bin/ contain source for
patch(1), but the sdiff(1) source is only in gnu/usr.bin. Am I correct
in thinking that if source exists in the contrib/ branch then that is
used to build the binary, and if not the code in gnu/usr.{bin,sbin}/
is used instead?
