Congratulations. You have just discovered a CVS feature called "vendor
branch". Read all about it at
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.10/cvs_13.html#SEC104 .
The OpenBSD ports tree is imported verbatim as the "openbsd" vendor
branch. Then, during the resulting merge, OpenBSD maintainer names are
removed and conflicts are resolved. Okay, we forgot to do this during
the last few imports. So I apologize for that. Could we please stop the
flamewars now and return to a normal discussion? I am on this list to
help with ports, not to flame.
