This command returns empty. There doesn't seem to be anything special
about this file, except that it is one of the oldest in the repository.
It was imported from CVS with history in 2005 (subversion-1.2), but so
was mysrc4.c. Also there have been not any properties set to the parent
directory ever AFAICS.

Looks innocent to me... Deleted some "M" lines pointing to files in
other directories, but that's it.
