??? Am I missing something here ?
Cvsup doesn't touch /usr/src, just ~cvs or whereever. It's the `cvs
co ...' that updates your /usr/src files, and, certainly on my
machine, it won't nuke any of my local changes :-| I just search
through the ``cvs co'' output for "^M " when I want to see what I've
changed locally, and "^\? " when I want to see what I've added.
