Is there anyway we can tell if the main problem is new checkouts or updates?  I 
ask because it seems the main problem is new checkouts and cpu seems less of a 
problem than bandwidth.  At least it seems that way as I have read this thread.

Here is my thinking on the matter.  I update my repository about 3 times a 
week.  If this kind of use is OK?  Then my proposal could be something along 
these lines.  

    1.  Weekly cvs tarbals.
    2.  anon cvs with checkout disabled. cvs only has update ability ( so users 
can update the tarball only). Tarballs could be bittorent pushed if wanted.
    3.  Have a "recomended" update script downloadable from one of the sites 
get-e maybe.

or if you wanted to go really crazy.  Require login for anon and sign up for a 
login on get-e maybe.  Do some minor hacking of cvs,git,svn or something that 
provides the following.

    1.  use sqlite or berklydb to track users a little.
    2.  limits the number of checkouts.  (say one per 3 months)
    3.  limits the number of updates.  (say 3 per week :-))

The above has the disadvantage of not scaling well across mutiple cvs mirrors.  
However if the web site knows about the cvs mirrors it can send new users to a 
mirror say round robin or all mirrors can have a full user list updated by the 
web server say rsync style or even scp on a timer.

If your are really interested in one of these options I can see about making 
the changes to cvs etc.  There maybe many other reasons this is not practical 
just thought I would share.

As a casual user I really don't want to lose cvs update but I understand if 
that is what is needed (not using gentoo btw).  I watch this project very 
closely though I have not been envolved much ( 2 patches weee ).  Anyway I hope 
this is a help not hinderance to this discussion.
