I am trying to figure out what source code has changed
before I actually allow cvsup to update source files under
/usr/src directory tree. I would first like to run the cvsup
command:

cvsup supfile /tmp/usr/src

Following this, I would like to rerun cvsup without the
temporary directory area.

cvsup supfile

Will this work ? Or will I need to clear some kind of a status
between the 2 steps to make cvsup get the same set
of files again ? (I could manually copy the changed files
from /tmp/usr/src to /usr/src, but I figured that it might
be just one additional step to accomplish the same, especially
if there are many updated files) ?
