No. It's from CVS/HEAD and diffed against it.

That would be fine.  :-)

No, this loses all information about the size, doesn't it? Speaking about
my helicopter model for the FlightGear simulator, this created one 
texture with all of the fuselage. And one with only the left front door
in ridiculous scaling -- filling up the same square as the fuselage.
Dito for all other doors, the tail boom etc. This was completely unusable.
