Charles,
I just ran an rsync -nr against my old rsync copy. CVSROOT files are
different since they're rebuilt every time you modify one of them. The
following is a list of directories that differ:

        leaf/bin/bering-uclibc/
        leaf/bin/config/webconf/
        leaf/bin/lince/                << four files
        leaf/bin/packages/nolibc/      << one file pxeinstall.tgz
        leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/
        
        leaf/devel/espakman/           << one file usbfile.gz
        leaf/devel/freat/
        leaf/devel/hejl/
        leaf/devel/jjprieto/Attic/     << one file lince.iso.bz2
        leaf/devel/nangel/
        leaf/devel/pstraina/
        
        leaf/doc/                      << verified with my working copy
        leaf/sourceforge/              << verified with my working copy
        
        leaf/src/bering-uclibc/
        leaf/src/config/webconf/
