I was recommending that he run cvsco on the tree, but I have no idea if that's massively unwise to do to BSD ports. cvsco is a destructive but reasonably bandwidth friendly way to make a checkout pristine--it nukes any files not in the respository, blows away any files which have changes in them, and regets just those files. =) There are times when it's handy to restore a tree to pristine, usually after you've coded yourself into a corner and realize that the last three hours of work and far-reaching changes are complete garbage. ;) _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
