Yes, but if I ever run cvsup by hand I wind up with cvsup going through my whole tree and resetting attributes because my default umask isn't 2. I once started up a cvsup by hand, sat down to eat/watch TV, came back and realized that cvsup had reset all of my file permissions. Putting it in the cvsup file help to make sure you don't screw yourself up by accident. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.ORG or mpp@mpp.pro-ns.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
