: How about putting the FreeBSD stuff on a branch, and let the local developer : work on the mainline. That way, cvs can do the right thing and just update : the branch, while the local developer can cvs update -j when merging is : wanted. That will also make merges safer, imho. I've been doing something similar for Linux for some time now. It works, but it is slow. And from time to time you trash the CVS files if, say, the system goes down right in the middle of a CVS import. Since CVSup wouldn't use import for the new vendor branch (which is what you are asking for), but rather just modify it, the windows are smaller. Warner
