I've never noticed csup(1) being at all reluctant to update a file based
on the version number going backwards. Case in point -- recently the
cvsup.uk.freebsd.org server has been frozen and not accepting updates
from upstream. I've been updating my ports from a different cvsup
server -- if I try cvsup.uk again, I get this:
% root csup -h cvsup.uk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

That's reverting most of the changes in the last week or so.
