Yup, it doesn't work. I was surprised to notice this fact last night,
when I was trying to check out the doc/ tree. Seems that
anoncvs.freebsd.org does not allow me to connect for a checkout.
Apart form using CVSup to fetch the sources in the form produced by
% cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs export doc
does any good soul out there know how I can use anoncvs to selectively
check out part of the sources? What I want to do is to mirror part of
the CVS repository.
My supfiel contained:
* default release=cvs tag=.
Perhaps, I should have used it without tag=. in order to get the files
from a checkout and not an export of the CVS repository?
