Hi! Does anyone know how csup handles updating changed files? Given that each branch of FreeBSD is nearly 500 megabytes in size, and undoubtedly contains a significant number of identical files from branch to branch, I figure it's feasable to create a new branch consisting entirely of files hardlinked from a lower branch, then run csup over that. Would csup properly handle this scenario and unlink/recreate the changed files, or would it update them in-place, and thus destroy the parent branch? Thanks! -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
