May I suggest to you (and other interested readers as well) to
cvsup the CVS repo then and get your /usr/src tree from there?
This is not much of a problem if you have 1.5 GB of disk to spare
(that's easy these days). But it enables you to fetch *any*
release from any date you wish for reading or compiling, remove
and rebuild your source tree(s), apply local changes and
enhancements, do some research locally and efficiently.
You can work either from one CVS server for your whole LAN or on
a single desktop machine for itself. This way you wouldn't even
be bitten too much from breaking modem / ISDN / LAN connections.
Plus you save the project's bandwidth and computing power when
updating multiple machines. And you get a _consistent_ state
across all the machines. After one machine has passed your
tests.
If this is not great, what else could one expect? :>
