Did you have your own custom script for cloning an entire CVS repo?
I don't remember CVS having one out of the box, and just checking out a working copy via `pserver:` would leave you with a tree you couldn't even `diff` in a disconnected state IIRC.
...but also, if you create a local clone of the whole repo, and then commit a series of patches to it, how did you even manage to keep track of which ones weren't in upstream? I mean, keeping track of patches with the external `cvsps`/`quilt` tools wasn't monstrously difficult (even if it wasn't especially easy, either), but keeping track of which patch sets were in one repo but not another?
