Ah, the 'anoncvs' DNS entry now points to another machine, serving an
NFS mount of the real CVS repository.

I guess, as a temporary measure, you could swap 'anoncvs' with
'master' (or 'container', or 'cvs') in the URL. Long-term, we should
probably move the rsync service over too (at least for the CVS
repository).

Copying gnome-infrastructure. Might be worth setting up cvsup too if
it's not too complicated.
