Will need some time to go through them all. Well it depends. Ruslan has kindly explained this in better words, so I'm copying him here: % Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:37:24 +0300 % From: Ruslan Ermilov <ru@freebsd.org> % Subject: Re: cvs commit: src/share/man/man4 fdc.4 % To: Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@freebsd.org> % % On Mon, Oct 30, 2006 at 05:01:16PM +0000, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: % > keramida 2006-10-30 17:01:16 UTC % > % > FreeBSD src repository (doc committer) % > % > Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_6) % > share/man/man4 fdc.4 % > Log: % > The correct date for RELENG_X manpages is not the last time the % > manpage was modified in the RELENG_X branch, but its last % > modification date in HEAD. % > % > Suggested by: ru % > Approved by: re (bmah) % > % > Revision Changes Path % > 1.34.8.2 +1 -1 src/share/man/man4/fdc.4 % % This is correct in case of MFC -- if you're making a RELENG_X % specific change then the date should be update to the date of % change in RELENG_X. Well, a common sense actually applies. ;) It makes sense, now that I've thought a bit about it. If you are 'pulling changes over' from another branch, you are definitely modifying the file, but these changes were 'conceived' at the date they were made in the original branch. Or something like that, anyway :) I don't think we have to go through each one of our MFC commits and retrospectively 'fix' that, because this will generate a huge number of commits!
