One question, before I proceed/resume and do the wrong thing: Can I safely make buildworld, installworld and kernel from drm-i915-update-38 branch and later switch back to regular /usr/src branch with svn? I believe importing commits from Linux 3.9 would require modifications because of the difference between Linux and FreeBSD? Tom
