Ummm....  By alerts I'm assuming you really mean rules, as the rules generate
the alerts.

CVS works just fine.  Grab the tree once, then it will just yank updates.

There's a snort-cvs list that you can join that will give you cvs info msgs
when something changes.  If you want to stay abreast of new rules/sigs, then
join the snort-sigs list.

If you're considering using something to 'auto-update' the rules...  I'll not
start that holy war again, I'll just say IMHO it's a 'Bad Thing(tm)'.  :)

Cheers!
