Right, *if* the tree was checked out in one single piece,
and if no parts of the tree were moved to other branches
after the fact.

Be wary about trees when you don't remember where you got
them from, and how exactly, and what you changed.  Each file
might be from a different branch (even in the same directory)
and each directory might be from a different server (even
subdirectories of each other), and just because something
is a subdirectory of something else doesn't mean the same
relations hold on the server - or rather, on whatever servers
are involved.  More than once, i lost my way in forests
spanning multiple servers and branches, mistaking them
for clean trees...

Here, look at this.  What do you think, it that from a -current
or a -stable OpenBSD-base tree?

After showing you, i'm probably going to clean this up using cvs up -A.

Yours,
  Ingo
