Using cvsup to update a local copy of the repository should not be significantly more resource demanding (on either server or client) than using it to maintain a checked out tree. It should actually *reduce* load on the freebsd.org servers since I can do things like checking the commit history of a file, or comparing arbitrary revisions of files, locally without having to contact any freebsd.org servers. I do such things fairly often, and I guess most of the FreeBSD developers also do it. It also makes it *much* easier to maintain local modifications to the source tree, without any risk that they will be overwritten when I update the source. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013_at_student.uu.seReceived on Thu Oct 25 2007 - 20:30:37 UTC
