Um, what you get from cvsup10 does NOT show you the diffs from -current.
you have to hunt them down by diffing the tree against a checked out
-current tree. It also requires people to set upinfrastructure to track
someone-else's work. this is an unlikely scenareo in general.
posting a patch file somewhere is much more usable.
