You can remove the whiteout, can't you?

In any case, I use the sup+cvs method.

What I do is sup into a directory, use cvs and a small script to
import this supped source into cvs, and then I cvs update my /usr/src
from that.

When new files are added or old deleted, magic happens and they are
fixed.  When files are updated from the sup, magic happens, and so far
I've had to only fix two conflicts.

This works _wonderfully_ and if I could I would export this tree.
However, until CVS is able to use a TCP connection rather than a
rsh-style...  I guess I can't.
