No-one needs to grab a repository, unless they're looking at history. Just use CVSup to grab the latest bits, no need to grab the entire history. Users have the choice to take it all, since trying to build a 'pruned repository' is alot of work (due to the way CVS does it's thing), so the all/nothing solution we have now should be good enough for 90% of the users, which is a pretty good solution considering the volunteer organization.
