If you read the cvs log for the file and see the primary commits, it's a lot easier to figure out if it's already gone into 2.2.x or not with a quick cross-reference. Duplicating the entire log message is excessive, but enough to identify the source is good. The PR: on a seperate line seems to be something that some people use. > - Jordan > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm Netplex Consulting To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
