Created attachment 170562 [details] patch for fix copyrights for SWT for 3.6 The attached patch works around a problem where the entire org.eclipse.swt project was accidentally deleted from HEAD by a bug in an automated build tool in July 2009. At the time, all SWT files were restored, however the file dates were all updated (even for very old, untouched files), which makes the "Fix Copyrights" tool think that every file was changed in July 2009. The patch looks for the commit comment that was used for the restore, and if that was the last commit for a file, then the file is ignored. This patch was actually used for the Eclipse/IBM Fix Copyrights for SWT for 3.6 RC4, so if possible it should be committed to releng for 3.6 RC4 for consistency. It should be very safe, because it is enclosed in "if (swt ...)" which will only be true for the org.eclipse.swt project.
