I'm not sure if svn can be made to 'take over' a tree of files already obtained by non-svn means. I believe not. Therefore to get hold of 9.1rc do: # cd /usr # mv src src.old # svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 src and then later on to update your tree with any changes from upstream: # svn up Note: the first time you update from a SVN tree, you'll get a lot of mergemaster false positives, because the format of the $FreeBSD$ VCS id string is different. Use of 'mergemaster -F' is recommended. Et voilĂ . Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey
