OT: Is there a good way to get the CVS metadata in /usr/src and
/usr/ports without transferring the entire source tree over the
network? On some machines, I'd like to be able to do a CVS
{diff,log,update} now and then, but I don't have the disk space
for the entire repository. I usually end up blowing away /usr/src
and fetching a new copy from a CVS server, but I'm sure this is
far from ideal for the people who pay for that server's bandwidth.
