>Description:
	The cvsupit package, as retrieved from the handbook on
	http://www.freebsd.org/ (and presumably just about
	everywhere else) contains an older version of cvsup. Not
	only does this wipe out one's already installed cvsup (if
	one has one) but this older version of cvsup isn't
	compatible with that presently used on the freebsd CVSup
	servers, making cvsup impossible after "adding" cvsupit.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Download and pkg_add.
>Fix:
	Upgrade the binary packages to use the current cvsup.
	Might also be a good idea to make this package not
	overwrite one's installed /usr/local/bin/cvsup. If that's
	not reasonable, the documentation needs to be modified to
	note that this package will destroy one's installed copy
	of cvsup.
