I guess I'll ask the usual question: Any chance of getting CVSup to transfer from a remote repository to a local vendor branch, instead of from a remote repository to a local repository? This would be incredibly useful for building a combined local source tree from multiple project's CVS repositories. It could be used by FreeBSD for a number of "contrib" things, as well...
