Funny. I didn't see that at all in the original email. What I saw was a
genuine misunderstanding.
He was asking about using CVSUP to track ports on a one by one basis.
What he didn't understand is that a person really wants to CVSUP the
whole ports tree. It's a fair misunderstanding if one starts with an
FTP-ish RPM-ish mindset. John Chen's answer was appropriate.
To Efren I add the following. You may also want to read up on 'refuse'
files as documented in the cvsup(1) man page. I don't recommend using
them though.
Later,
Jason
