?
man cvsup
	No manual entry for cvsup
apropos cvsup
	cvsup: nothing appropriate
cd /usr/ports/*/cvsup
	*/cvsup: No match.

Personally I use ctm, (available for src/ ports/ cvs/ & gnats )
I used to use sup, but ctm saves pain, I reckon credit for that goes to
the md5 checksums (& credit for ctm to Poul-Henning).
