The >$NetBSD$'s are useful to see which version it came from (so once the >NetBSD people opened their CVS, you could make cvs diffs ;-). No. The $NetBSD$'s are enough for the new changes. There should be $Id$'s for some of the old changes. There shouldn't be $Id$ for the old changes that are just patches from Lite2 (Lite2 still hasn't been imported in most places outside of sys). Don't do new commits just to fix $Id$'s. We already have > 30000 useless log messages about changing $Id$'s. Bruce
