The only rule I know of is to copy new files from the vendor area.

It is rather important to note where the change comes from so I have
been using a template with the revision number and/or Illumos issue
number inspired on similar commit logs for ZFS.

I usually find it easier to take the references/patches from the
illumos-gate bitbucket.

Nope that helps,

Pedro.
