Way back when, I used to get the INDEX when running cvsup unless
I put it in the refuse file. Of coarse it was old and useless so one was 
better off building their own INDEX.  So why cant we just receive the 
INDEX like we used to, but unlike before, l have it updated as often as 
is being done now?
