1) You make your modifications in a checked-out source tree, and sup
the cvs tree.  To integrate changes, use `cvs -q update -dP'.

2) You make your modifications in the source tree, and sup same.  You
keep a list of modified files, and a set of programs allow you to
hide/unhide them from sup and determine when they need to be ftp'd to
freefall to be merged.

I don't have the disk space for (1), so I do (2).  (I could probably
/get/ the disk space, but it's more pain than I want to deal with
right now.)  (1) is a lot easier, /if/ you have the disk space.
