Wait! I didn't mean that you can rsync only the HEAD stuff. You can rsync the
complete CVS repository with the ,v files. Here RSync is better than
Real-CVS, because RSync is faster in updating your local repository copy and
then you have the advantage of fast checkout/diff/update operations because
the repository is _local_.

I tried it again myself and it works fine. And some of the mirrors use it,
too. So I think its a local problem for you. Perhaps a platform problem of
rsync. What platform are you using?
