It will definitely be better to delay adding these files until we have
completed the current merge operation, since it will just complicate
that merge. It really is not a good idea to simply copy files for the
sake of copying them without understanding the reasons why they were
not there in the first place.
It certainly will not make things easier!
Are there any files there where for some reason you think there is a day
to day urgency to add them?
