I've been looking at this in a little more detail. 'cvs diff' and/or
'cvs log' are fine tools, but the logs for changes between
RELENG_3_3_0_RELEASE and RELENG_3 are multi-megabytes in size.
As an idea,
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~nik/ChangeLog.gz
is a GNU style ChangeLog of the changes -- it's about 2.5MB when
uncompressed. I was kinda hoping someone (or the individual developers)
might have a firmer handle on what's been bought in, and how important
it is in the grand scheme of things.
I generated this file with the cvs2cl tool, which can be had from
http://www.red-bean.com/~kfogel/cvs2cl.shtml. The command line was
% cd /usr/src
% cvs2cl.pl -l -rRELENG_3_3_0_RELEASE
where /usr/src contains a checked out copy of -stable, and you have a
local copy of the CVS tree to hand. On my 200MHz system this took about
2 hours (!) to complete.
