What's the difference between postgresql.conf.sample and postgresql.conf.sample.orig

I see the above-mentioned files in src/backend/utils/misc. A diff shows

log_destination = 'syslog'

302a304

silent_mode = on

autovacuum = on

What's the purpose of postgresql.conf.sample.orig?

I'm adding a GUC variable to submit a patch to allow tracing temp file
usage. Do I need to add it to both?

My copy does not have any such file. Are you working on CVS HEAD?

Whups ... my mistake, the FreeBSD port includes a patch against
postgresql.conf.sample, and the *.orig is the cruft left behind.

Thanks for the quick reply.

There is no such file in CVS ... perhaps it's left over from a patch run?
