There isn't really the concept of taking a file off the vendor branch
in the same way as with CVS, although it's still prudent to limit
changes to vendor/contrib files to avoid conflicts during future
imports.

Modifying binary contrib files is a different matter, but that would
be difficult to deal with regardless of whether they're uuencoded or
not. Anyway, I'm not aware of us having done that before.
