I am doing some final beta testing before releasing a new version of
CVSup.  When you run your next CVSup update from a FreeBSD mirror
site, you may find that it spews out a whole bunch of "SetAttrs"
messages.  Or, maybe not. :-)  It depends on a lot of things.

Anyway, don't be alarmed.  The new version is stricter about the way
it preserves file permissions.  The first time you update from a
server using the new version, it may do a lot of SetAttrs to correct
the information in its "checkouts" files.  You won't see it again on
subsequent updates.
