In your original post you said you wanted to "review changes/diffs". This will not allow you to do that because you only have a snapshot of the source. To put this another way, you have nothing to diff against. Also forgot to say that the simplest way to fetch a local copy of the repository is to install the cvsup-mirror port. Disable its cron job and run the update script whenever you need to. -- ian j hart Quoth the raven, bite me! Salem Saberhagen (Episode LXXXI: The Phantom Menace)
