I guess I couldn't make up my mind 8-)

Damn! You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Here is the
actual command I used:
rsync -az --delete --exclude '#cvs.*' --exclude 'CVSROOT/config' \
--exclude \ 'CVSROOT/history' --exclude 'CVSROOT/updatelog' \
rsync://sources.redhat.com/gdb-cvs gdb-cvs
I cribbed these from Janis Johnson as used for GCC. Do we need these
same excludes?

OK, attached is the new patch: OK to commit?
I have also attached a patch to MAINTAINERS in light of the following
e-mail exchange:

As you can see from the patch, I am volunteering to take Jim's place.
