Yup, just use cvsup to maintain an up to date copy of the repository localy and then cvs checkout your source tree from there. This allows you to keep in sync and keep local modifications in your tree. Updates take longer and I recommend updating ports via direct cvsup instead of via cvs checkout (it's much faster if you aren't modifying ports), but it works quite well. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
