It's also fairly important to pick the right time to do this, because
the code on the sommerfeld_i386mp_1 has at least historically not
continuously been updated to be synced with -current, and I'd be
hesitant to try this if -current has been progressing too far away from=

the last time the SMP branch was synchronized towards the main branch.

To avoid problems, you should do a date-based checkout of current to th=

time when the last time the sommerfeld_i386mp_1 branch was synchronized=
,
so as to minimize the chances of failure.
