Use CVS instead of CVSup, or use CVSup to pull the source repository instead of the source files themselves and then use CVS to update a local copy from the local repository. Which way you do it will depend on your available disk space. The disadvantage of using CVS is that it's slower than CVSup. It has _loads_ of cool points over CVSup, though. :-) See chapter 18 of the online FreeBSD Handbook for more information: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html Specifically, 18.3 will be of interest to you.
