Hmmm.....  I was told that rsync.netbsd.org itself mirrors from the ftp
machine, which if I understand correctly is the same as the anoncvs
machine, and that the ftp/anoncvs machine mirrors the live repo.
Presumably the extra level of indirection happens to a machine more
capable of handling the extra load.  Please do correct me if I'm wrong
-- I would like to understand the logical progression of changes through
these mirrors.

In any case they should all copy _all_ of the repository, including the
defining CVSROOT files.
