After all, 'update' is the action you want CVS to perform, right? 'up' is not an action; 'up' is a direction; do you really want your sources to go 'up' - like, 'up in smoke', 'up in flames', 'up into the great blue yonder'? :) This is MHO, too :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This inert sentence is my body, but my soul is alive, dancing in the sparks= of your brain. --TA4f0niHM6tHt3xR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzIQE0ACgkQ7Ri2jRYZRVMjcQCeLgLLUNIeB0J1ybvY2e0s8e0J IpEAniChya4SOhzyw6+87nUb2m/bPu+5 =4zvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TA4f0niHM6tHt3xR-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
