Improving OpenJDK for FreeBSD

[Jens Lideström]

Hello Harald,

I'm just an interested observer with a question.

I think that the ambition is commendable!

How can I find out which changes in the Battleblow repository that are 
for BSD customization? There is the branch bsd-port, but on that branch 
there are also a lot of changes that are integrated from the upstream 
JDK repository.

I can search the repository for commits by the user battleblow:

https://github.com/battleblow/jdk21u/commits/bsd-port/?author=battleblow

But maybe there are more changes by other committers?

Regards,
Jens
