Mike,
We can't do a full raw mirror. There are restricted things in CVS. A
raw copy of the anonymous cvs is about as close as we could do to this.
I personally see little to no benefit in the additional overhead in
doing that. But if you can make a case to say robbat2 and pylon for why
this would be useful to our community then I'm sure we could open up a
rsync of the raw anoncvs mirror.
