Actually, there is another one, which others reported previously, but
which may not have been clear for someone not closely familiar with GCC.

The GCC CVS repository contains more than one module, at least gcc (the
compiler proper) and wwwdocs (the web pages and scripts) are relevant.

The latter is completely missing from savannah, and of the former, only
a single directory is present (name the directory called gcc) where there
should be many further directories and files in the top level.


My guess is that in your invocation of rsync, somewhere you have one
"/gcc" too much, for example "/cvs/gcc/gcc" instead of "/cvs/gcc" --
or something along these lines.

Hope this helps,
