custom_overlay is not sufficient?

No, It isn't. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think the source files should be left unmodified by the build process. If I change a .php file, I expect that after the build the file is still the same. The problem is that custom_overlay appeared only recently (I did my largest efforts two years ago), and it doesn't help when I want to patch some files but still receive the upstream changes to those same files. If I put a changed php file in custom_overlay, I have to manually merge every check-in from the pfSense repo.

I'm sure git will be THE solution, and will also attract more contributions to the project.

Thanks again,
Angelo.
