  Yes, the glibc-cvs.git repository is busted. If you have any way to
ask Roland or Ulrich to make the CVSROOT of the glibc-cvs repository
public, one could use parsecvs to have a way better export. I don't
think making parsecvs (the tool from Keith Packard) incremental would be
hard, and it's pretty efficient and fast.

  git cvsimport and tailor both use cvsps that is completely confused by
the glibc cvs, and it's very slow no matter what. I believe rsyncing the
glibc CVSROOT needs fewer sourceware.org/redhat/wherever-the-repo-is
resources, and allow to build the shadow-repository faster too.

  As a Debian glibc maintainer I would very much interested with such an
export of the glibc repository that would be way more workable than CVS.
In any case, please keep me posted to what happens wrt that issue,

Cheers,
