I am thinking of something like this:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/142360
I separated the diff and the shar files - diff for what is already
existing, and shar for new files.
Are you saying that you would prefer if I had done a single diff with
"diff -urN"?
Part of the reason I started to do this is because, even when I had
clear messages like "there are new files XXX and YYY" they would still
get forgotten by committers.
