[parisc-linux] Re: rsync for CVS repository

[Neulinger, Nathan]

I'm not sure how useful rsync would be for duplicating a cvs repository
except for mirroring purposes.

If you want to do your own commits locally - you're probably better off
doing a vendor branch/frequent imports, or using CVSup. 

If you just want a fast local copy of the repository (say if you're behind a
slow link), then rsync would be useful. But cvsup should also let you do
that easily.
