[drop the above ipv6-only address that only sometimes works from the

Hi!
I've got the following patch in my FreeBSD4 source. Perhaps it
is a candidate to be merged into RELENG_4? Pretty please?
It somehow fixes the case which is somehow b0rken when one
tries to update from a read-only repository (whether de-facto
or as specified on the command line, I do no remember, sorry)

If I could remember how to reproduce the bug, I'd say so,
but as I recall, it has to do with a combination of a read-
only-mounted repository and/or specifying the -R flag to the
client. Without this patch, the server tries to write to
the read-only repository and fails.
This patch is probably based on something seen in one or
more of the other BSDen.
thanks
