:As I understand it, we already need cvsup installed. What does cvsup do
:that rsync does not, if rsync's easier to include?
cvsup understands cvs, so it will only download the incremental patch
or tag change when a commit is made. rsync will copy the whole file if
it changes. cvsup also understands files which are appended to (like
log files). I'm not sure if rsync understands appends but I think it
will copy the whole file in that case too.
But, insofar as the base system goes, I think rsync is quite reasonable.
