It's in my workspace but I haven't committed it yet.

I can add this if you like.  Are you sure this is all that's needed?
There are lots of template files, etc.

I guess if you're just trying to build a copy from CVS, this is enough.

This change was committed on 28 Feb 2005.

OK, I've updated this info in my workspace.

I updated the warning level in my workspace as shown in this patch.
