You need to keep -current with the FreeBSD Documentation. Hopefully,
the documentation at
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook239.html>;
is sufficient (that's the "Synchronising source trees over the Internet"
section).
I recommend CVSup, and if you decide to use it you'll want a supfile
that looks something like
*default host=cvsup.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
doc-all
Be aware: That will download the CVS repositories for all the source
and all the documentation. That's about 700MB of data on your disk.
If you just want to get the documentation CVS repository, and just get
the latest source code you want to change the last two lines to something
like
src-all tag=. prefix=/usr
doc-all

It's where CVS puts files that have been removed. When you remove a file
using CVS it's removed from your directory. However, CVS needs to keep
track of the file somewhere, since you might (at a later point in time)
checkout a version of the code prior to your removal of that file.
So CVS moves the file to a directory called "Attic".
Hope that makes sense.
