> How do we use the cvs system on local trees?

I'm assuming you're trying to 'modify' the FreeBSD-CVS tree as gotten
via SUP/CTM, right?

To be honest, you really don't modify it, since any changes you make
will be wiped out the next time you SUP the tree, or if you use CTM
it'll complain that the tree isn't in the correct shape.

You don't have the base stuff on your machine.  If you did, then it
would complain that you aren't on 'freefall'. :)
