Bug ID: 278284
   Summary: Contributing to FreeBSD suggests patches by tar or
shar
   Product: Documentation
   Version: Latest
  Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Only Me
  Priority: ---

We've got much better ways to accept patches than a tarball against an unknown
base. IMO, most of "2.3. Changes to Existing Source Code" is obsolete or
irrelevant.

Bug 1: "... or the files in the directory /usr/share/misc/magic ..."

/usr/share/misc/magic is a file, not a directory.

Bug 2: "In addition, if ... $HOME/.magic exists, it will be used in preference
to the system magic files."

No.  $HOME/.magic is "in addition to", not "in preference to".  If you meant to
say that $HOME/.magic is checked first, before the system file, allowing one to
override what the system file would have said, then say checked first, but it's
definitely not "instead of".
