Then we need to make damn sure we don't get issues with the mirrors. Deletions have been a problem with thinktux, and I don't think it is just thinktuxes problem. I have seen cvs deletion problems elsewhere as well. I got bitten myself with the evas .cvsignore shmozzle. Despite the correct use of of cvs options, whole directories that where supposed to get deleted had not been. rsync, mirror software pointed at the HTML cvs browser, paranoid checking scripts, some sort of robust mechanism should be employed. This might be a problem that has been solved elsewhere, some research is in order.
