I don't use Subversion so I can't answer that part of the question. I don't quite understand how/why replication (master vs. mirror) is a concern here. My point is that with csup/cvsup, people need to be aware that there is "CVS checkout"-like file also associated with things which lives in /var/db/sup (for csup) and /usr/sup (for cvsup) which needs to be removed if you pull files out from underneath it (e.g. rm -fr /usr/src/*, etc.). I could write another 5-6 paragraphs about this explaining the technical aspects, comparing it to stock CVS (re: CVS/ directory during checkout) and other things, but it's besides the point. My point is that most people don't know of /var/db/sup and /usr/sup, and when you make them aware of it, they go "...oh! Maybe that's how my local copy doesn't match with what's on the server!" -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
