Gold and Silver will only differ by at most 2 months of changes so
it's not really a big issue. Up until this time all changes had to be
a diff against Gold because Silver was kept locally on my machine. The
fact that it is now kept publically should not change the procedure. 
However, I'm flexible and can handle the diff from either system 
since I'm going to hand-apply it anyway.
