Devs are lazy and don't always do a full cvs up, same reason the repoman metadata.xml check relies on pulling metadata.dtd down, instead of having a copy pushed into the cvs repository. Re: yoinking the file from the cvs->rsync transfer, frankly who cares. It's one file out of 124 _thousand_ files; <400 bytes. Really ain't worth it. ~brian
