Yes. You changed the source files without changing the CVS metadata.
The patchkit intentionally omits the CVS directories. CVS will notice
this.
After the update, however, a cvs diff should show only true local
modifications. Also during the update you should get a lot of "XXX
already contains YYYY changes" messages.
If you show a lot of changes that you didn't make in the cvs diff,
please let me know. That should not happen, and may mean I've messed
up the patch kit.
