20 */4 * * * cd /home/pd-dev; cvs up

cool enough? (forgot if every 4 or 5th hr exactly)
that's for anonymous cvs. ext cvs via ssh has immediate updates.

send upstream also? cvs import is a bit intrusive.

there's no rsync/shell access at all to the cvs boxes, and the nightly 
snapshot feature was turned off a few months ago when some folks began 
to add broken crontab entries which brought the shell boxes down.
don't think that they'll turn it on again with the new webboxes, which 
will come this month.
