You have two choices: 1. Get 2.2-0900xEmpty and 2.2-09*, and apply as before. 2. Get only 2.2-09*, and apply to the tree you currently have. The second alternative is much less work: 2.2-0900xEmpty is 36 MB, whereas 2.2-09* is only about 1.5 MB. In general, don't throw away your ctm files: if something goes wrong, you'll be glad to be able to rebuild the source tree from them. I had to do that a couple of times when I was using ctm.
