Yes, that's a real pity.
I think it would be great if tarballs would be offered for
those, too. I.e. this is *all* of OpenBSD (src, xenocara and
www, the latter however "refuse"s papers/, slides/ and songs/
"because" i also have a checkout of the Steelix translation
project), as has been burned onto my last full-backup DVD:
$ ls -latr
-rw-r--r-- 1 steffen wheel 516407350 26 Jan 15:41 cvsync_openbsd.tbz
I think plain gzip wouldn't be that much larger.
And hey, it's worth noting that this is smaller than
.git/objects/pack of src.git alone!

Yes.
And how easy it now is to do 'cvs up -PAC' to overwrite my messy
patches.
