That said : I glanced at a diff of a stable/8 checkout both from /home/ncvs repo and new /home/freebsd-svn one, and saw a (maybe well-known ..) 'feature' : diff ./src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h /raid1/bsd/8/src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h 42c42 < * $FreeBSD: stable/8/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h 174299 2007-12-05 16:03:52Z obrien $ --- > * $FreeBSD: src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h,v 1.15.2.1 2009/08/03 08:13:06 kensmith Exp $ I wondered why the date (and commiter ...) in the expansion were different (from the svn log ): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r196045 | kensmith | 2009-08-03 10:13:06 +0200 (Mon, 03 Aug 2009) | 4 lines Copy head to stable/8 as part of 8.0 Release cycle.
