You can always time it such that a you grab the source in the middle of an update sequence and you need the whole thing to work. I was always told to re-cvsup in an hour and see if the problem is still there. If it is, look at the cvs-all messages. In my case, I use a script that generats HTML from my cvsup.log and it points back to cvsweb.cgi. You usually have an idea who broke -stable :). I still don't spend time doing that until the second cvsup, up to an hour later than the first, also fails.
