Sounds interesting.

As I read this it reads like you would like your own local copy of the
cvs source repository.  Rsync the files out of the cvs repository to
your own location.  Then extract what you want from there.

Get a listing:

    rsync rsync://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/sources/cvs/ccvs/

Copy the files:

    /var/tmp$ rsync -a --info=progress2 
rsync://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/sources/cvs/ccvs .
         70,693,319 100%    2.16MB/s    0:00:31 (xfr#1578, to-chk=0/1688)  

    $ du -sh ccvs
    72M     ccvs

If that isn't what you are asking then let us know.

Hope that helps!
Bob
