    Hi,
    I have just tried to update my ports collection using CVSup. I followed the instructions in the hand book and specified the following:

    *default host=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org
    *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
    *default prefix=/usr
    *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

    src-all

    ports-all

    The CVSup seems to run fine. I am left, however, with a large number of files with ",v" appended to the end. Is there some sort of merger procedure which I should follow to update my current files and to rename the new files to their name without the ",v"?
