! The major strength of CVS is that it has the ability to preform intelligent merges of changes to the central repository with changes that you make to your local copy. This means that if you make a change to a module and perform an update, your changes are not "blown away", rather CVS makes --- 39,45 ---- up to date and issue queries against the central depository.

++ For people which own an OpenBSD CD, you may have seen the CVS/ dirs on there. + Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD src/ module + usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will result in a much + shorter initial CVS update time than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD + source tree. There are two ways of using the CD, either copy the tree off it, + or use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory. The former can + be accomplished by this command (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt): +
+ # cd /mnt; cp -Rp CVS Makefile bin distrib etc games gnu include \ + >+ The latter method requires this setup instead: +kerberosIV lib libexec lkm regress sbin share sys usr.bin usr.sbin /usr/src +
+ # mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/Src ++ After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all cvs(1) commands + will work OK. +
