There was a late change in the keyword substitution mode for those files. That's a per-file mode (note that it's *not* per-revision per-mode) and there are no email messages generated for them, just as no messages generated for imports. > I assume that my src tree (after > syncing with CVS and therefore with all the 'new' files in > gnu/usr.bin/perl) is still suitable for building 4.8-stable.
