Do smileys mean *anything* to you, or did you just getup on the wrong
side of the bed this morning.
Besides, you're previous two comments said absolutely nothing. 'I
stated that the NetBSD commit tree isn't available, and you're comments
stated the *exact* same thing.' The didn't add anything to the
discussion.

The commit messages are meaningless w/out the code diffs.
If you truly want to be helpful, then don't bother pointing to the
NetBSD source files which are far less useful than the OpenBSD sources
files, which for the most part contain the same code, but do contain
useful code diffs along with commit messages.
