19 +* mv/maint-branch-m-symref (Sat Nov 1 00:25:44 2008 +0100) 5 commits

29 + - blame: use xdi_diff_hunks(), get rid of struct patch
30 + - add xdi_diff_hunks() for callers that only need hunk lengths
31 + - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
32 + - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0

35 +* ds/uintmax-config (Sun Oct 26 03:52:47 2008 -0800) 2 commits
36 + - Add Makefile check for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY
37 + - Build: add NO_UINTMAX_T to support ancient systems
38 +
39 +I amended the topmost one to widen the applicability of this new feature
40 +to all FreeBSD 4.*, not limited to 4.9-SECURITY; testing before this hits
41 +'next' is appreciated.

46 +
47 +The topmost one is my attempt to simplify the new way of checking; the
48 +resulting configure.ac produces the identical configure script with or
49 +without it, so I think it is Ok, but testing before this hits 'next' is
50 +appreciated. If all goes well, I think the two should be squashed into
51 +one patch.
