Yes. You requested that CVSup give you CVS repositories for all the specified distributions and put those repositories in /usr. Since src-all and cvs-crypto live under /usr/src it turned /usr/src into a CVS repository. Similar for /usr/ports; you also gave it permission to delete, so it assimilated /usr/ports into the CVS repository for ports. If you want to grab stuff in checkout mode (ie, get _real_ files) you need to specify a tag. If you want the most current stuff, then change ports-all to ports-all tag=. tag is any valid CVS tag, ie RELENG_2_2 and so forth. . is the head. You can *default this if you want real files for everything.
