They were mostly related to _wrong_ $Id$ vs. $FreeBSD$ keyword changes, and
the backing out of these ... :-). I don't want this history to be repeated=
=2E
History:
Round 1: premature "long-awaited" change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$ by jkh and
backout of this change by peter. Affected most of the src tree.
Round 2: (for make sources only; interleaved with round 3). Add $Id$.
Get it wrong by duplicating $Id$, then remove one of the copies.
Round 3: premature change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$ by obrien in parts of
contrib and/ir ports while core was still discussing the correct
=09 format for the expansion of $FreeBSD$. Fait accompli. Change
=09 completed by peter. End up with ugly (IMHO) formatting with
=09 fairly full pathname of the file in the expansion of $FreeBSD.
=09 I hope this round has not actually ended :-).
Round 4: (for make sources only). Start using __RCSID().
Swapping the Berkeley Id into the comment makes the diffs relative to the
Berkeley version harder to read.
