I hadn't realized how big the RCS file was. There are times when I think that INDEX should be cleaned up. Everyone is basically supposed to cvsup and portsdb -uU to rebuild it. The cvs copy is now 10x larger than the file itself and cvsuping downloading INDEX can take as long as the cvsuping the rest of ports-all.
