No, it is not required.  cvsup will 'do the right thing' with or without
any 'special setup'.  The special setup on our cvsup distribution network
is to disable rsync for CVSROOT as we append to files more often than
changing them and it's far easier for the internal cvsup append code to
deal with CVSROOT/commitlogs on a regular basis than to fire up rsync all
the time on the chance that a CVSROOT file changed.
