There are some pretty comprehensive examples installed into 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup.  Due to a bug, some of the packages in 
the last week keep that dir empty.  If you have the system sources 
installed, you can look at /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup.

To actually answer your question, I don't think you would be very 
happy with what that supfile would do to your system.  With the 
examples in hand, you should get a far better grasp on what's going 
on.  If you're still uncertain at that point, feel free to mail me 
directly.
