Interesting... probably someone should update the handbook then:

"""
2 Grab the sources from a FreeBSD mirror site. You can do this in one
of two ways:
  a Use the **cvsup** program with the supfile named standard-supfile
available from /usr/share/examples/cvsup. This **is the most
recommended method**, since it allows you to grab the entire
collection once and then only what has changed from then on...
"""

Does anyone knows if this is in sync with CURRENT/bleeding-edge svn freebsd?

I don't have anything against svn, but I don't need 100 old copies of
each file in the tree and git has a very handy --depth option.

Regards
Ismael
