cvsuping ports problem

[Ventsislav Velkov]

Thanks for both answers.
I wrote here because at the and of the
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
is written "Most FreeBSD-related discussion of CVSup takes place on the
FreeBSD technical discussions mailing list.",
which in fact doesn't mean this is the list for having troubles with using
cvsup, but it took me easy here.

Yes, you are right, the file is really big, and when I looked in the tree I
saw the size is changing.
Thanks again!
