The protocol of choice for this seems to be anonymous rsync. At
least, that is what we are using at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ for
similar purposes (goal: guard against *both* physical and
organizational failures - tape backups and the like can only help with
the former).
Adding it to the CVS protocol might be cool (for a variety of
reasons), but should not get in the way of people putting up
anonymous rsync (or CVSup) now.
