It has a selected subset (TrustedBSD, SMPng, KSE, I believe). There's a
lot of stuff in the Perforce repo, and CVS exports of Perforce trees are
less storage efficient because of the name space / branching issue. There
was a web server running on perforce.freebsd.org exporting the contents,
but it had some problems and Peter hasn't gotten to updating it yet.
Developers are selectively exporting branches; for example, I export
netperf as patch sets on my web page:
http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/netperf/
(FYI, there's now an RSS feed of my change log there :-).
