 For the import of sendmail, the following directories were renamed:
 
 	sendmail -> src
 
 Imported using the instructions at:
 
 https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#git-primer
 
 After importing, bump the version of src/etc/sendmail/freebsd*mc
 so mergemaster will merge /etc/mail/freebsd*cf by making a minor
 change and committing.
 
 To make local changes to sendmail, simply patch and commit to the head.
 Never make local changes in the vendor area (/vendor/sendmail/).
 
 All local changes should be submitted to the Sendmail Consortium
 <sendmail@sendmail.org> for inclusion in the next vendor release.
