In case anybody is interested, last week I made a brief write-up
describing how CVSup manages to go fast. Go to here:
http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/
and then follow the link "How does CVSup go so fast?". There is also
some related stuff in the "CVSup in Action" page. I would welcome
editorial suggestions. I am probably too immersed in the project to
be able to recognize whether the description is understandable or not.
