You keep saying that, but that doesn't make it true.

It's actually very common for people to keep customized
versions of source in /sys/src.  When you pull, if one of
those files is new then you have to diff it and make the
changes by hand, then run pull -c to tell replica that
you've taken care of that.  It's not hard.
