Description lgfbsd 2012-09-03 21:30:08 UTC 
The Handbook still describes updating sources through CVS, but Subversion is replacing it as the 9.1 branch will not be exported to CVS.

Fix: This is, at the least, a start...
How-To-Repeat: 
See "cutting edge" section of Handbook.

please note that cvsup is NOT cvs and as of now, still supported and
even recommended.

The announcement for the latest 9.1-PRERELEASE says otherwise,
indicating that it and future release branches will not be exported
to CVS, and thus will not be available through cvsup. That's why I wrote
this documentation update.

I'm wrong once again: sorry for the noise, thanks for the patch!

Back to the pool for now.  I have not had time to make proper progress 
on this.
