If it ain't borken :-). Speed is rarely an issue since the CVS master server is fast, and most of the time only a few files are copied. For other intersted parties I got OK from John Polstra to put his script online with std. BSD license so it can now be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~simon/scripts/Fixtags . In case anyone is interested I put the script I use for repo-copies at FreeBSD.org online as http://people.freebsd.org/~simon/scripts/cvs_repo_copy . The script probably need to be adjusted to local config and use at your own risk etc - but it hasn't done anything bad for me yet :-). -- Simon L. Nielsen
