Something like that might help. It's true that CVSup could ignore deltas newer than when it started. Tags don't have dates associated with them, so they're harder. But they do point to deltas, so still there's hope. > And then have xntpd or somesuch running, so that all the cvsup mirrors > have the same idea of when xx.yy.zz was..
