5This directory contains the virgin CVS source on the vendor branch.  Do
6not under any circumstances commit new versions onto the mainline, new
7versions or official-patch versions must be imported.
8
9To prepare a new cvs dist for import, extract it into a fresh directory;
10then delete the files and directories listed in FREEBSD-Xlist.
11
12CVS is imported from its top level directory something like this:
13  cvs -n import src/contrib/cvs CVSHOME v<version>
14
15The -n option is "don't do anything" so you can see what is about to happen
16first.  Remove it when it looks ok.
17
18The initial import was done with:
19  cvs import src/contrib/cvs CVSHOME v1_11_22
20
21When new versions are imported, cvs will give instructions on how to merge
22the local and vendor changes when/if conflicts arise.
23
24The developers can be reached at:  <devel-cvs@nongnu.org>.  Local changes
25that are suitable for public consumption should be submitted for inclusion
26in future releases.
