The tool isn't in the cvsupit package, nor is the "pump priming sync"
technique in the Handbook (under any of current, synching, or cvsup).

(Admittedly a link to the cvsup home page is there, so I could have
found the FAQ that way.  Mea culpa on that bit.)

WIBNI the cvsupit package would do the pump priming for you?  But then,
it'd have to figure out what version of the source you were starting
with (probably easy) *and* the date of the ports collection you're
working with (probably not as easy).  Hmm....
