Could you quote a few of these messages from /var/athena/update.log,
please?

We haven't made any elisp file changes recently, but in some cases
there might be different RCS tag expansions.
Maybe mkserv should copy with the -f option (although that might
require modifying a big pile of .sync scripts), since as far as I know
there's never a reason to preserve local changes under /var/server
(except in specific cases).
