It's not well publicized.
Try this:
rsync sources.redhat.com::glibc-cvs
aka
rsync sourceware.org::glibc-cvs
If you come up with a good procedure for converting,
I can do the sync directly on sourceware.
The infrastructure is already there, since
I'm doing it already for lvm and device-mapper.
At worst, I can do the parsecvs conversion for the
base repo, and use git-cvsimport to keep it up to date.
That should work. But if someone can propose an even better way,
I'll be happy to use that.
