When it's just sitting there, it's probably recusring through the entire
directory structure on the other end to work ou what it should be doing.
It does take a long time.
You might want to make sure that you access the repository withe "-z9"
if you are working over a modem link, which may help a little. To make
this the default create a ~/.cvsrc file, which contains the line "cvs
-z9".
It's long been one of my pet peeves with the mozilla project that they
don't support cvsup, which is a far more efficient mirroring tool. :-(
