Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware that you diffed against an official branch. In 
fact I wasn't even aware that that neon 0.25 is still maintained.

OK. BTW, is that the generally preferred strategy?

That leads me to the next question: Is there a particular reason why only 
diffs are stored in the repository? I was originally hoping for a 
repository that actually stores the sources. This would be handy to work 
with (i.e. store intermediate states) and would also facilitate group 
porting efforts, which are pretty much inevitable for bigger projects.

OK, will do.
