A week or so ago, a discussion rattled around about cvsup being written in

What about launching into it, and moving to subversion instead? That way,
the updater could be included in the base system, as it's c++ AND BSD
licenced.
Probably great scads or work, but it might be a good idea.
Hot sure that solves the problem, to my (limited) understanding the
problem is not with CVS per se (though there are problems with that too)
but rather with checking out the whole repository at once. Using normal
CVS this is not very efficient and CVSup is. The question then is how
efficient subversion is. (Someone who knows please confirm/deny.)
To correct myself: using cvsup you can get a copy of the repo and work
against it localy, which you can't do with just cvs, don't know if you
can get a local copy of the repo with subversion.
