Well, it's the same provided you run CVSup exactly at the same time as the "cvs checkout" for the SNAP is run. :-) Otherwise, it can be slightly different. If you know when the files for the SNAPs are checked out each day, you can use the "date=" option in the supfile along with tag=RELENG_2_2 to get very close to the exact version of everything used in the SNAP.
