How do you deal with getting atomic backups? For example, what if someone were
commiting at the same time rsync or the backup is occurring?

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.
