Would it be useful if the FTP server had a .tar.bz file of a daily
checked-out CVS tree (with CVS/ directories and everything)? That
way, people could avoid using CVS for initial checkouts of the
mainline, which should reduce the load (it would at least eliminate
the cost of compressing all those files).
The idea would be that people could just do
<ftp "egcs-cvs-daily.tar.bz">
bunzip2 < egcs-cvs-daily.tar.bz | tar xf -
cd egcs
cvs login
cvs -z9 update
