Don't use CVS. CVSup is the preferred method of updating sources.
I regularly update my /home/ncvs CVS repository from the mirror at
cvsup.gr.freebsd.org (since I'm in Greece, I use a Greek mirror;
another one might be best for you), with the following supfile:
*default host=cvsup.gr.freebsd.org
*default base=/home/ncvs
*default prefix=/home/ncvs
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all
doc-all
The '*default release=cvs' line is the operative one, in there. It
does not check out a given release of the sources, but transfers the
RCS files of the repository and their full contents.
