It's ideal for reproduction/mirroring. You can use CVS the same
way as you use it for mirroring the maindocs. Therefor we don't
need extra software, like mirror or wget.

It would be nice if Joe's patch site would be available by CVS too....

But fair is fair, rsync would be the most preferred.....

Is there a possibility for a trail period? I'm currently testing new
ways for mirroring the htdig sites, since we have lost FTP access,
and a combination of CSV and wget is getting some successfull results.
Later more on that.
