I use the following to get a feel of what is changing in FreeBSD 8 kernel.
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/sys/?sortby=date
Normally only a few directories show modification. Today, almost
every directory show a modification by bms:
MFC r199522..199528: Pullup IPv6 mcast SSM KPI fixes from HEAD, including
fix .
So I decided to see what the changes are. Every file I have so far checked
shows no changes.
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/sys/sys/cons.h?r1=196045&r2=199578&sortby=date
Any idea why so many files claim to have been touched?

The files' contents did not change, but its metadata (Subversion properties) did.

By the way, here is another little tool that can be used to
watch changes in 8-stable conveniently:
http://www.secnetix.de/olli/FreeBSD/svnews/?p=stable/8/sys
It lists commits (optionally with diffs) to the path specified
in reverse chronological order, i.e. newest at the top.
Best regards
