rsync help

I am trying to get a copy of the entire cvs for a research project and 
wanted to rsync your cvs.  I have done this, and I am seeing the ant, 
avalon bcel (etc) subdirectories, but none of the .java files are here. 
Could you give me some instructions?  Thanks!

you probably do not want rsync, but cvsup (which in fact uses rsync's
algorithm for binary files) that handles cvs repositories efficiently.

lemme fecth the url for you...
http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/
or
http://ftp.webmonster.de/jdp/s1g/

it is in the ports tree of most bsd dists, binaries available from above
urls.

at the moment i prefer cvsup over rsync also for mirroring binary files,
because the cvsup daemon does not have any code in it that writes to
files, you can easily configure it to run as cvsupd or nobody user, and
it appears to be much faster for large collections of files because
filelist generation, diff checking and actual copying of the data is
done in a multiplexed, parallel and isochronous fashion.

rsyncing a cvs tree is unfortunately not a good idea due to the number
of files in it, which chews a lot of memory on the server and client.

you might be lucky enough to find one of the apache mirrors could
make the cvs tree available via rsync, or can tar it up for you.

cheers,
