I don't use cvsup and have no plans to, so maybe I am missing something, but I don't see why cvsup would not give you the right version of a file. | UPDATING only makes sense within the | context it lives in right now.

So you agree with me, the way I read this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
