I do exactly the same (or, eupdate is doing that) to keep the Prefix |
| 14 |
tree in sync with gentoo-x86. That is, I use the CVS Header to |
| 15 |
determine if a change has occurred, retrieve that diff, and apply the |
| 16 |
patch on my Prefix version of the same file (ebuild, ChangeLog, |
| 17 |
patch, eclass, ...). |

For that reason I'd pretty much prefer to keep the CVS Header in place, |
| 20 |
unless there is a very good reason to remove it. |
