Sounds like a race.

Sounds like magic, or do you follow commit messages?  Is there something
like an OpenBSD mailing list for commits?  I know FreeBSD has a number
of those, very high volume, though.  After they changed to subversion,
I had a script that stored my local version number, updated to HEAD and
gave a log of the changes in reverse chronological order.

Have you ever tried the mercurial quilt plugin?  With mercurial it is
possible to convert regular changesets to a quilt series and back
anytime.

But since you have to fix up CVS-IDs in between, using raw quilt is
propably more flexible.

I just wish tmux was in an easier to use repo with an OpenBSD and
a portable branch, plus a local branch just for building.  For me, "cvs
up" just doesn't work, I have to do a clean checkout every time.  I'm
not sure, but the sourceforge infrastructure might be the culprit.
