It doesn't work.  This is what I get:

# cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup
# cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.gr.freebsd.org ports-supfile
Parsing supfile "ports-supfile"
Connecting to cvsup.gr.freebsd.org
Connected to cvsup.gr.freebsd.org
Protocol negotiation failed: See
http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/s1g/ for upgrading information
#

I upgraded cvsup itself with /stand/sysinstall, but I still get this error.  I
checked the URL shown, but it isn't clear whether or not that is a newer version
than I have; after all, I just installed the latest version (I assume) with
/stand/sysinstall, from FTP.
