Do this by running the 'admin/update-copyright' script on a fresh repo checkout. Inspect the results for plausibility, then commit them. +You should also run the etags test suite in test/manual/etags/. It +will most probably fail because the contents of the test files changes +due to copyright years update, so you need to move each ETAGS and +CTAGS file produced by the test runs into the corresponding +ETAGS.good* and CTAGS.good files, and then commit the new test files. + There's no need to worry about whether an individual file has changed in a given year - it's sufficient that Emacs as a whole has changed. -- 2.39.5
