I'm sorry about this and will back my change out in 30 minutes or
after I see the reply to the below (whatever happens earlier), but
could you please clarify something for me and others:
1. What was the point in creating RELENG_4_5 branch if RELENG_4 is
still frozen? I thought that creating RELENG_4_5 branch would
automatically unlock RELENG_4. At least, that's the feeling
I've got from reading releng.html, and this is the way it worked
before.
2. There were two simultaneous commits to the RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_5
branches for gnu/usr.bin/groff/tmac/mdoc.local by murray, and only
RELENG_4_5 commit was marked as being ``Approved by: re'', in
support of my feeling.
3. I saw multiple commits to the RELENG_4 branch of src/UPDATING by
imp without the ``Approved by: re'' bit that also support my
feeling.
Cheers,
