This is an "I don't know but can look into it". Even if the answer is "Yes" though, it might be more important to focus on what motivated the question. I have learned that the transfer mechanisms in use amongst the mirrors varies widely, not all use cvsup. As far as I can tell there is nothing that could do this in rsync for example, I already know a bit more about rsync than cvsup. With some research maybe a mechanism that accomplishes the goal can be found that would work for more transfer mechanisms (not sure what right now, but playing games with hard links type thing maybe). -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
