+	      packages which were already present and converted by the

+	      <filename>/vendor/<replaceable>package_name</replaceable>/dist</filename>

+	      (for example,

+	      <option>-c <replaceable>REV</replaceable></option> to
+	      indicate the revision to merge from the
+	      <filename>/vendor</filename> tree.  For example:</para>

+&prompt.user; <userinput>cd sendmail</userinput>
