        Good. 

        I've updated to cvs-1.11.1p1 earlier this week and used
LockDir to manage locks outside the CVS tree itself. I was a bit worried
of rsync deleting lock files while someone was checking out. This solved
the problem. 

        I wonder if you could do the same for the GCC CVS tree. That
would solve the problem we currently have on a regular basis (not
fatal) of lockfiles triggering rsync errors because they disapear.

        The only problem I found using LockDir is when there is a
symlink in the path of the CVS repository. In this case the code is
confused, barks and dies.  Apart from this problem, for which I
submitted a bug report, it works fine.

        I'll keep an eye on subversions.gnu.org/mrtg ;-)
