"Please only use characters [-+._a-zA-Z0-9] for naming your patches. Do
not use any other characters besides them. Do not name your patches like
patch-aa or patch-ab etc, always mention the path and file name in patch
names."

Back in the cvs days, this was never done as it ment losing history and
policy was therefore to only apply the, then new, naming convention to
new files only.  Now that we've moved to subversion, so give portmgr a
prod after the release to see if a mass file renaming would be a good
idea now.
