I think the same. If you look into FreeBSD's history of
dealing with source code checkout methods, you'll find
this: port cvsup-without-gui -> base csup -> move to
SVN -> port subversion -> ? - here a tool to get updates
from source control would be nice. In the past, the
CVS-based tool did allow you to "make update" for the
/usr/src and /usr/ports tree. For the ports, we have
portsnap to obtain a snapshot (not _precisely_ current),
but for /usr/src, we currently don't have a tool in
the base system. Installing the full subversion port
isn't that hard, but a csup-lookalike in the base
would be nice, for the simple task to checkout sources,
even if it's just a bootstrap mechanism (cf. pkg).
