I would highly suggest the GCC Project consider offering both the CVS
repository itself and a checked out copy via CVSup.
http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/ CVSup has really reduced
the bandwidth needs of tracking FreeBSD.  There are CVSup clients and
servers at
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/binaries/
for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Tru64, NetBSD, etc...
