      Some additional definitions to help younger readers:

      • “put back” is like “git push”
      • “bringover” is like “git pull”
      • “gate” == the canonical source repository, that from which the product is actually built
      • “on495” refers a specific release, decoder ring: “on” is short of OS/Net which is the Solaris kernel, commands and libraries, 495 is the month year targeted for delivery. Obv. these were internal names
