  That page you've mentioned [1] at least twice refers to CVS as a
deprecacted method of updating your source/ports/docs and insists
on using Subversion instead.
  A word 'deprecated' means smth similar to 'not recommended for usage'.
  So, your PR contains no useful information.

From-To: freebsd-doc->issyl0

I've updated the website to reflect the fact that these no longer work. 
I'm working on getting the DNS updated.
