I hadn't played with the port yet so I thought I'd take a poke at it.

It's an odd port ... no pkg-plist, no man pages. The web page that
pkg-descr points to has little more than what pkg-descr itself says.
There's a README.TXT that gives a few one-liners on what the various
python scripts do, and there's a DBSETUP.TXT that mentions a postgres
database (?!).

Do you have an example of how you use it in your cvsup script? Any links
that discuss how it works in a bit more detail? It looks interesting,
but unfriendly ;-)

Thanks,
