Does csup use subversion now? Or do we need to use something

As I understand it, for the average user c(vs)up and subversion
serve the same function using different methods (both in terms of
identifying what files need to be fetched and actually fetching
them). At this level of discussion they are mutually exclusive.
I have switched from csup to subversion for ports and docs.
After modest preparation it was essentially painless.
Are these modest preparations documented somewhere?
For source, save any local diffs somewhere, delete /usr/src, install svn
from ports, svn checkout the version you want, patch from the diffs.
Same for docs. Example checkout of 9-STABLE:
svn checkout svn://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
For ports, it's probably worth saving the distfile directory along with
local diffs. Move it back into place after the svn checkout of the
ports tree.
After that, it's just "svn up" to update the appropriate directory. If
something changes in the archive that conflicts with local patches, svn
will let you know and try to help merge the remote and local changes.
Example update of source checked out as above:
svn up /usr/src
