>Description:
	The files /usr/share/examples/cvsup/*-supfile contain the statement re base=:
		Even if you are CVSupping a large number of
#               collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than
#               ~1MB of data in this directory.

	However, on this system, du -h /var/db/sup/* gives:

		930K    /var/db/sup/doc-all/checkouts.cvs:.
		 20M    /var/db/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:.
		7.6M    /var/db/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_6

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

	Remove it? Possibly the relevance has been lost over the course of the last 10 or so years.
