Well, the idea is to do a fresh checkout and spam the checked out files and then "cvs update" in case I did spam some changes. I can provide the changes as diffs if you need them that way; I'll warn you that you'll be in exactly the same boat applying them as the original diff sets I sent (that's why I went to the trouble of sup + cvs + ...). In particular, the vfs_syscalls.c changes will be hard to cope with as diffs. Will the local spam + "cvs diff" not work for you?
