What is the recommended method for keeping the -current source trees
up to date on a non-networked machine?  Can I use sup to just get
files which have changed since a certain date and then copy them to a
floppy, or will I just have to copy the whole source tree every so
often?

I see that FreeBSD uses a system called CTM - is there any equivalent
for NetBSD?
