>Description:

Syncing to cvsup8.us.freebsd.org or cvsup8.freebsd.org after syncing to any other us|tld cvsup server rolls back changes from other cvsup servers because it is way out of sync with them.  I have not observed this behavior with any other us|tld servers.

>How-To-Repeat:

1) sync to any of the cvsup*.us.freebsd.org or cvsup*.freebsd.org servers;
2) sync again using cvsup8.us.freebsd.org or cvsup8.freebsd.org;
3) observe the large number of checkouts rolling back changes from any of the other servers;

>Fix:

Avoid using cvsup8.us.freebsd.org or cvsup8.freebsd.org
