No! This is not good enough.

Major nit:

	COPY THE SOURCE TREE TO /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena
	and RCS tag it. THEN make your changes. We need to keep a
	local copy.

Minor nit:

	Don't reference filsys entries by their mountpoint (/source).
	Instead, reference them by their locker name (presumably
	in this case the same).

Side comment:

	I do not believe that /source is a reliable place to get
	current sources. I believe /afs/dev/source/src is more current.
	You may have some good reason for preferring rel-eng,
	but I don't know what it is.
