Just out of curiosity, if you wanted to swap from cvs to cvsup for
updates, do you need to do anything in particular apart from creating a
cvsup file with the tag etc?

I've been using cvs until now, because I thought cvsup to oss.sgi.com was
broken, but would like to "re-use" the existing local source tree instead
of downloading it all again.
