I was rsyncing manually from opendarwin before 'selfupdate-rsync', but I only touched the stable and unstable directories. So when I tried the released 'fink selfupdate-rsync', I was a little surprised when fink updated stable/* and unstable/*, but then proceeded to clean out all of the CVS control directories in local/ as well (which pointed to my local CVS repository, oddly enough). Mea culpa-- I probably should have looked at the source code before trying selfupdate-rsync :-/
I understand the rationale for removing the CVS directories, as updating the CVS sandbox with rsync would confuse CVS.
It might be helpful, though, to point out in the upgrade instructions that _all_ CVS directories under /sw/fink will be removed as part of the upgrade.
Actually, as far as I'm aware, it only does directories with the string "stable" in them, and then looks for the corresponding tree in the rsync repo before overwriting them, so you must have some incredibly unlikely Trees line that happens to work anyways. =)
What does your Trees: look like, and what is in your local dir?
