Dear FreeBSD'ers,
Over the past few days, I have been cvsup'ing FreeBSD's repository
and cvs-checkout'ing out my -CURRENT sources; for the record, I had
been cvsup'ing my sources and making the buildkernel etc. dance
flawlessly on this very test system.
It seems a logical approach to switch from cvsup'ing each system
separately to cvsup'ing the repo cvs-checkout'ing the desired
modules (src, ports, doc, www) for each of my systems. However, I have
had a few (probably minor) problems on my -CURRENT test system, where
I am playing the new "cvsup repo"/"cvs-checkout modules" dance.
My (stripped) cvs-supfile:

The background (also posted to -questions) --
Following Warner's directions in internat.txt, I removed the
crypto-related stuff, and issued the following explicit command:

Needless to say, I rm -rf'ed the directories marked by "?", and
repeated the whole checkout operation. Apart from a few ? in front of
some files of mine in the source tree, everything was fine. I am now
happily running a -CURRENT built from those very sources.
What am I missing in the above cvs steps ? Why were my source
directories marked as "?" and not updated ? Is it really necessary to
rm -rf those subtrees?
Mutatis mutandis, the same occurred in my ports tree (in the same
-CURRENT system):

Again, removing the "?" directories (except distfiles) and cvs
checkout'ing once more gave me a working ports tree. I haven't tried
other modules (yet). I would first like to understand what happened.
-- brand-new problems -
As I said above, I removed the "?" directories, cvs-checkout'ed my
sources, and successfully updated my -CURRENT (test) system. But
on the next src checkout, the following warnings were given:
