I think it mostly doesn't matter, but there are some cases where it
does, such as:
- mule-packages/skk/skk.el
- mule-packages/skk/texi/skk.texi
- mule-packages/mule-ucs/doc/mule-ucs.texi
- xemacs-packages/bbdb/lisp/bbdb.el
- xemacs-packages/bbdb/texinfo/bbdb.texinfo
- xemacs-packages/build/README
etc.

I don't see the harm in putting them all back versus picking through
to see which ones might actually matter.

Apparently I don't understand how to use mercurial.  I already did the
button.el change, committed it locally, and pushed.  I then did this
patch in the same checked out package tree.  Yet hg diff is showing
the button.el change as part of this patch.  Is that because the
corresponding top-level change has not yet been made?

In any case, all the button.el-related stuff has already been done and pushed.

Here's another question.  This new patch contains a top-level change,
.cvsignore -> .hgignore.  I'm not supposed to do top-level pushes,
though, right?  I messed things up the last time I did that.  Or am I
just not supposed to do recursive top-level pushes?  I don't
understand how this is supposed to work.  If somebody could educate me
in advance, that would be great.
