Well, it should be remember that CVSup is (at least conceptually) not
just "a tool for spreading CVS-held source around like fertilizer",
it's "a software package for distributing and updating collections of
files across a network" (per www.cvsup.org).  If you're using it to
sync files between two hosts you control, there are many good reasons
why you'd want to run commands (rather like you would with rdist).
