You have it backwards. csup _only_ works in checkout mode, what it
can't do is mirror a repository. This is fine for the average FreeBSD
user however, since checking out the current version of the src or
ports tree is what the vast majority do anyway.

If you are going to offer advice on the lists, please take the time to
verify that what you're saying is correct. Otherwise it's just a waste
of time for all concerned.
I'm picking on your post here a little because it's a good example of
a disturbing trend, please don't take it personally.
