Please please do *not* rsync the infradead repository.  The repository 
on gcc.gnu.org is set up so that I can switch back and forth between 
pulling from git and using git-svn directly; the infradead repository is 
not.

For one thing, the infradead repository uses svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc, 
which makes it impossible to use git-svn to check in changes; the 
gcc.gnu.org git repository uses svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc, as is 
right and proper.  Also the remotes are in a different place from where 
git-svn puts them, though I suppose that's easy enough to adjust when 
fetching.
