:Perhaps a reason to look at switching to cvsync  ?
:
:-DR

    rsync has an excellent track record and is tiny, with no dependancies.
    We should definitely include it.

    cvsync has problems similar to cvsup, though not quite as bad.  If we 
    installed a static version it would probably be ok.  I don't know if
    cvsync handles all the cases (like tag updates, repository forks, and
    local forks) that cvsup handles.  Without knowing how robust it is I
    would hesitate to include it.
