Same here.

Not in my experience.

I abandoned NFS for src and obj because my four machines at home may, 
depending on what I'm working on, have different patches applied. As said 
before, when I tested it this morning it worked. I'll run a complete

hasn't been updated for a long time, exercising mergemaster.
