Well, I'm slightly exaggerating. Let's run my perl script (search for
the pattern /^SUP Receiving file (pkgsrc.*\/CVS\/.*)$/ in the log file,
and stat it)

[root@arnor root]# ./totalCVSEntries.pl 2001-09-14-sup.log
Total is 229188 bytes in 1814 files

Not that big in bytes, but 1814 files, and 1814 directories to update in
sup/current/pkgsrc.last

In fact, I count :

[root@arnor root]# grep current-pkgsrc 2001-09-14-sup.log
SUP Upgrade of current-pkgsrc at Fri Sep 14 21:06:47 2001
SUP Upgrade of current-pkgsrc completed at Sep 14 22:33:55 2001

Well, 1 and half hour on my RNIS phone bill, that's not _that_
insignificant...
