The more pkgsrc grows, the more this problem becomes annoying.

Today, it took two hours to sup pkgsrc, while there were only a couple
of changes. I'm actually running a script who calculates the amout of
megabytes for CVS/Entries files blindly fetched. I expect no less than
5 MBytes.

Shouldn't we have a special tag or keyword for sup, which does not fetch
those ?
