Right. Sorry for not replying earlier, but I didn't quite understand what
exactly you were trying to do and what the problem was.
The /doc and /www areas of the FreeBSD CVS repository are a responsibility
of the FreeBSD documentation guys. In the future, it may be a good idea to
ask questions about these specific parts of the CVS tree by posting to the
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mailing list :-)

To have a complete /www mirror you need other stuff too and you may have
to tweak a bit the build process to avoid redirecting everyone to the
central www.FreeBSD.org every time they hit, for instance, a manpage link.

Adding an 'ncvs' user/group is only required if you like checking out of
the repository without the -R flag of cvs(1). Note, however, that it's
not something mandatory.
Redirecting the installed files somewhere where you have a lot of free disk
space is ok and it doesn't require the 'ncvs' user or group. Just set
DESTDIR (and possibly other environment variables that affect web.site.mk)
to point to the right place:
% cd /tmp
% cvs -q co -P -l www # Note -l here...
% cvs -q up -Pd www/en www/share www/tools
% cd www/en
% make DESTDIR=/usr/web/freebsd all install

Nah, no problem. This is what the list is for, anyway.
