Actually, if you decide you want to keep up with the latest sources
on a regular basis, at some point you'll probably want to bite the
bullet and use sup to download the full source tree. It's quite a
few hours the first time, but after that it downloads only the
changes, so you can update in a few tens of minutes every week.

Or a you may wish to wait a bit until anonymous CVS is available,
which will also give you the same ability, but also the ability to
revert to older versions of some files if that becomes necessary.
