Eric Blake just told me that in fact git-cvspserver silently does not support "update -D" and so this technique actually does the wrong thing. I guess findutils will need to move to obtaining the current gnulib via git. It's slightly disappointing that this introduces an extra dependency on git for people checking the findutils code out of CVS. Details at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?21568 James.
