:if I used anoncvs instead of sup, I'd understand NetBSD better?
That is _not_ a summary of what I said.
:huh?
With cvs you have the ability to see changes made in each version
of a file including the log message accompanying that version.
sup gives you daily updates - at most. No log information. Multiple
updates to a file on one day give you the last version before the sup
update so even keeping your sup'ed source in your own cvs is not
particularly helpful.
There's a bit of a difference there.
