As I had initially advised, you can rsync the entire CVS repo and do the |
| 21 |
entire conversion locally using cvs pserver. You don't need to rely on |
| 22 |
anoncvs. As you have noticed, it doesn't exactly have high marks for |
| 23 |
uptime. Plus a local conversation is much faster; you don't get the network |
| 24 |
latency for all the cvs operations. |
