In : > a year's time, nobody will know what this commit did. : : Then just include CHAGNES.txt with the import each time. Actually, just include an EDITED version of changes. The number of changes tends to be long, and a summary of them would be better. Of course, given that this is vendor code, and we're not quite working yet, I don't think that people will CARE if they don't know exactly what changed and why. Look at some of the gcc import messages which basically said "Upgrade to version N". Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
