KISS. 2. Last time I checked CVSup did not transmit the CVS repository itself, just the files in there, so I cannot perform `cvs log` or use cvs tags nor `cvs diff` on my local copy. Okay, I just noticed /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile which seems to do what I want, even though the comments in that file itself are not correct.

Yup. ;-) It seems I have no chance but using both CVSup and CVS which is absolutely overkill for what I have to do...
