Good grief, at least get your > facts straight before blathering on. I suggest that YOU get your facts straight. 1) Only the head changes are written at the top of the file. For other branches, cvs has to track down to the branch point and then back out the branch. At each step, it must apply the "patch" that represents the difference in the two versions. 2) I have seen routines that append to the end of a file. However, if I insert at the front, I must copy the entire file. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
