I have not heard of cvsupit, but I do know that cvsup does what you are looking for. This is the best place to get info on that, and there are good walk through's as well: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html generally speaking, after reading the link above, copy one of the files located in: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ to /etc or /usr/local/etc or some-such-place, edit it as needed and run: $ cvsup /etc/standard-supfile for example.
