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.
