The program is out of date. The cvsupit-3.0 program seems to suggest that RELENG_4_4 should be used. That can lead to various extra problems, e.g. when downgrading from v5 of FreeBSD (due to the syscons + pcvt incompatibility, 3 Jan 2001). For example, "make buildworld" of v4.4 fails can fail at the very start when making "yacc" after a downgrade and errors would follow that (the usr.bin/usr.sbin files are too out of date in RELENG_4_4). Also "src-secure" and "src-crypto" are not listed in the cvsupit menu. That can cause problems if the crypto files were already downloaded, but they are not updated. Fix: Some added text in the cvsupit menu hinting that RELENG_X is usually better than RELENG_X_Y would be useful.
