Yes. You changed the source files without changing the CVS metadata.
The patchkit intentionally omits the CVS directories. CVS will notice
this.
OK. That clears that up.
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.
I haven't made _any_ local changes. I use cvs to keep up with some
tag. Currently that is release-21-4.
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.
Here's the diff for one of the files that's being shown as locally
modified.
