Hi Derrick--

You're using cvsup to maintain a local repository, right?  If so, you
need to add cvsroot-all to the set of collections you're pulling
down.  After that, checkouts from your local repository should have
their $FreeBSD$ ids expanded correctly.

It sounds like somebody needs to write up a FAQ on this...I'll put it
on my list of things to do but if someone else does it first, they'll
get no complaints from me.

Bruce.
