Thank you for your concern, rpaulo!

All files that exist in FreeBSD are already branched in my own branch 
from the freebsd vendor branch, hence I will in fact do integration from 
time to time as you suggest.

I think I will use the current scheme for the moment -- branching only 
the files/directories that I am directly going to work on. I will then 
see if any other kinds of branching will be necessary, and will act 
accordingly.

Also note that my script is not destructive -- it doesn't remove any 
files, except for links. ;)

Cheers,
Constantine.
