title: Cloning a cvs repository client-side
body: <p>I would like to clone a cvs repository from sourceforge with all it's branches and history (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/beecrypt/code/?source=navbar" rel="nofollow">this one</a>) in particular.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using <code>git cvsimport</code>, but this does not support <code>cvsps</code> v3, and other answers here say that <code>cvsexport</code> does a more complete import into git.</p>
  
  <p>But <code>cvsexport</code> requires RCS files, how do I get those client-side? When checking out a CVS repository only the head revision is checked out, and I don't have admin access so can't use rsync.</p>
  
  <p>I don't have any CVS experience btw, only GIT experience.</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] Just found out that sourceforge has anonymous <code>rsync</code> access via the <code>rsync://</code> protocol, so my original problem is solved. <strong>However</strong>, what if it didn't support this?</p>
