That has nothing to do with our process and everything to do with us

I fail to see how not updating thru $FBSDrepo/vendor/NetBSD/libedit
is easier than updating thru it.
Either way you have to figure out what to do with our great divergance.
At least when using the vendor branch you can use a good 3-way diff merge
tool (e.g. svn).
Usually the vendor upgrade approach works just fine if we do
the periodic work of keeping up to date and we are careful to
submit our changes upstream.
The issue is that you really have to be in sync with one upstream
version so that the changes you merge from the vendor branch
are consistent.
In libedit we have incomplete merges from upstream (that was
CVS fault), we have some changes that are obsolete wrt to how
upstream solved the same issues and we have a couple of
files that have diverged completely from upstream.
Either way it all can all be solved but it's just a lot of work and I
can see how the direct approach helps understand better what
is happening and can ultimately save time.
Pedro.
