Don't apologize - no problem.
I just did a cvs diff to make sure, and I'm not seeing any unexpected
differences between RELENG_5 and RELENG_5_3. The diff will show you
a bunch of files, many along the lines of what you mention, but the
only differences that it shows you are in the CVS version number
strings. The rest of the contents of the files are identical.
There are a few files where that is not the case (e.g. src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
and a few others like that. There is also the recent MFC of the libpthread
stuff to RELENG_5 that shows up as different between RELENG_5 and
RELENG_5_3, as well as some of the release related documentation. But
other than that I don't see any differences in the cvs diff.
