One misfeature of cvs is the possibility to fetch incomplete updates to the repository (no atomic commits in cvs, and this must be carried over to cvsup). Do "your" snapshots behave better in this domain ? As one last question : I assume the same process of building "coherent" snapshots could be also applied to the core cvs repository of the full FreeBSD project, and a cvs-snap utility could be imagined ? Thanks for Portsnap and FreeBSD Update TfH
