Thank you for this advice.

There is a new version, which differs only in the man-pages. These
used to mention optional features (of which only NLS support is
actually optional in the version built on FreeBSD, all other are
always compiled in, and I had mentioned to the author that this
might irritate FreeBSD users).

I have suggested to the author to add SPDX BSD-2-Clause tags, which
would change a large fraction of the currently committed files.


Is it required to perform the --record-only merge, then?

Or would it be OK to import the new release into the vendor branch
and then svn copy that version completely (including the tests and
other files that I had omitted in the initial import) to contrib?

I expect the svn copy without prior svn merge --record-only to
result in the same repository state after the conversion to Git,
but I do not really know ...
