Were it gets even more confusing is files like freebsd.submit.cf where
there are multiple version numbers.

The version in my temproot is
$FreeBSD: src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.submit.mc,v 1.1.12.2 2006/08/23
$Id: proto.m4,v 8.719 2006/03/30 20:50:13

And on my system I have:
$FreeBSD: src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.submit.mc,v 1.1.16.1 2006/04/13
$Id: proto.m4,v 8.718 2005/08/24 18:07:23


Now each file is newer and older then the other :)

Basically I just want to make sure i'm merging in the right direction. 
I don't want to accidentally break something.
