csup -g -L 1 -h cvs#.cc.freebsd.org 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile

i.e: cvs17.us.freebsd.org

This will update to your uname -r latest patchlevel.  Copy and replace 
(for you): RELENG_7_0 with RELENG_7_1 to get the latest patchlevel for 7.1


Original doc seems either replaced by the freebsd-update method (while 
excellent, there are a few things that CVS really triumphs on).

csup is part of base.

I'd be glad to help you through.  The canonical update method is still 
listed in the handbook (SS. 24.7.1) used after retrieving the sources.
