I haven't yet figured out exactly how to keep up with the cvs commits, this is part of the lack of documentation.

This looks great, thanks for the reference. One question is about the huge OpenACS cvsroot. A comment in the above suggests using rsync (for sourceforge) to copy everything in cvsroot. When I did my cvs-to-git it took about 12 hours and I was mostly concerned with placing stress on the OpenACS servers. Is there any possibility of making a similar service available, or is the stress not too bad? I assume that rsync is used so that things don't change under your feet. If there is any interest I could rsync to one of my well connected hosts and folks could rsync from there. Maybe there are better ways to do this, suggestions?
