It works like rsync, Actually, csup is much more efficient than rsync because it can cache the meta information and so doesn't have to perform a stat() on each file. That doesn't matter so much on the client (compare plain csup vs. csup -s), but it is quite significant on the server. And anon cvs is just an enormous hog on the server side. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
