Is there any reason why we don't allow rsync access to the cvs repo?

The only reason I can possibly think of is server load, comparing the timestamps for every file and directory in a repository for every rsync session could be taxing if everyone under the sun and all their cousins could do it.

CVSync, on the other hand, can cache those timestamps into a file and send it to the client, offloading the comparison workload from the server to the client where it belongs.

I'm going to look at installing this also ... what does the client side need?
