If you are using csup in checkout mode, then you could use a date= ...
corresponding to the day prior to the problem commit (see csup(1) ),
rather than the usual tag=. , but then you would lose the good changes
after that point -- and there have been many.  Or, even better, you
could place a pattern corresponding to the file that caused the
problem in your refuse file, and update that file by hand
independently of the rest of your sources, which you would continue to
csup.

If you are using csup in cvs mode rather than checkout mode then you
could use any number of workarounds.

But I agree with K. Rei -- subversion is better.  Install
devel/subversion, and then checkout the sources:

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head
svn merge -c -193289

Thereafter, in the root of the repo:
svn up
svn merge
