Your worries are well-founded. :-) This would indeed blow away
everything except the "src" tree. If you specify a "tag" (or anything
else) in a "*default" line, then it applies to all subsequent
collections that don't override the setting with something else.
Here's one solution:
*default host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all tag=RELENG_3
cvs-crypto tag=RELENG_3
doc-all tag=.
ports-all tag=.
# And, if you really want them ...
distrib tag=.
www tag=.
I deleted your initial "*default tag=.", which didn't do anything
since it was overridden by the later "*default ... tag=RELENG_3".
Also I changed the host, because cvsup.freebsd.org is badly overloaded
while the other three US mirrors are cruising. They are all
equivalent in that they all update themselves hourly from the master
repository on freefall.
You could leave out the "base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup", since that's
the default.
Another way you could get what you want is like this:
*default host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs tag=. delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all tag=RELENG_3
cvs-crypto tag=RELENG_3
doc-all
ports-all
# And, if you really want them ...
distrib
www
Here, I put "tag=." as a default since it's the most common case.
Then I overrode it in the two collections that need to be RELENG_3.
And as a third option, you could do this:
*default host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
*default tag=RELENG_3
src-all
cvs-crypto
*default tag=.
doc-all
ports-all
# And, if you really want them ...
distrib
www
