[BCCed to -stable]

Hi all,

I was used to stable-supfile used to track -stable and standard-supfile
used to track -current.

Since april 2001 this is no more the case, and standard-supfile tracks
the branch it was originally pulled from.

I don't want to go into a bikeshed painting contest, but I have a
suggested modification to src/examples/cvsup/README that at least
explains to the unawary what has changed.

Feel free to edit to taste.

thanks
Marco

+WARNING: There are two "standard-supfile". Keep reading for details.
+
+Since april 2001, "standard-supfile" defaults to the branch from which
+the file came.  So if you pull down RELENG_4 it defaults to RELENG_4,
+if you pull down -current it defaults to -current.
+
+An easy way to get the latest "standard-supfile" for the branch you are
