Thanks to Luke Mewburn, Jeremy Reed and Takahiro Kambe.

Jeremy reminded me of the cvs -D option which can be used to check out
a directory tree as at a particular date - it turned out I needed the
version as at 4th of January this year.

I didn't want to make any changes to my existing pkgsrc tree, however
I also didn't want to download the whole tree again at a particular
point in time for the sake of recompiling one package (never mind the
problem that old versions of other supporting packages may also have
been created this way)

I really only wanted to revert to an older version of the postgresql
directories and compile it against other current packages I'd already
created.

In order to do this I did the following:

|aeolos[~] 1v#: cd /scratch
|aeolos[/scratch] 2v#: mkdir -p pkgsrc/databases
|aeolos[/scratch] 3v#: cd pkgsrc/databases
|aeolos[/scratch/pkgsrc/databases] 4v#: cp -r /usr/pkgsrc/databases/CVS .
|aeolos[/scratch/pkgsrc/databases] 5v#: env CVSROOT=3D:pserver:anoncvs@anon=
cvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot cvs -q update -d -P -D "4 Jan 2003"

|aeolos[/scratch/pkgsrc/databases] 7v#: cd /scratch
|aeolos[/scratch] 8v#: umount /usr/pkgsrc/databases
|aeolos[/scratch] 9v#: rm -rf pkgsrc
