Historically, the main reason for separating out the doc tree from the main freebsd src tree was to provide a "branch free zone" for things like the Handbook and FAQ where maintaining separate branches is non-sensical. In previous conversations about where to put the Japanese translations, I raised this as an issue and was given the argument[1] that this branch free zone was exactly what the Japanese man pages needed. Have things changed? It is fine if they have but could some CVS expert shed light on the practicality/hassles of having part of the doc tree branched with the other part not? -john [1] I probably have most of the email transactions on the subject, but not ready at hand.
