Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

# b2c76c41 16-Aug-2023 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line nroff pattern

Remove /^\.\\"\s*\$FreeBSD\$$\n/


# fbbd9655 28-Feb-2017 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

symlink(7): Mention chflagsat() (can take AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW).

# 2205e0d1 23-Jan-2015 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

Add futimens and utimensat system calls.

The core kernel part is patch file utimes.2008.4.diff from
pluknet@FreeBSD.org. I updated the code for API changes, added the manual
page and added compatibility code for old kernels. There is also audit and
Capsicum support.

A new UTIME_* constant might allow setting birthtimes in future.

# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.
