But how many CVSups on each machine.  There was a commit of libpam stuff that
didn't work.  Some time later the commit was backed out.  The first commit
required the new downloads.  The backout commit required downloading the 
old versions again.  Apparently the files are different enough that CVSup
falls back to transfer the whole file rather than just edit.
