I think you're expecting to be able to rsync a checked-out version of the
src tree?  If so, theshell.com doesn't offer that.  If you want to grab
the cvs repository, try something like:

rsync -rtl --delete rsync.theshell.com/pub/DragonFly/dcvs/ /home/dcvs

This will fetch the entire cvs repository, and then you'll be able to
check out sources using cvs from that.

To be fair for testing, you'll probably want to make cvsup grab the same
thing (look at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile).

If checked-out sources are desired, I guess I could set that up.  I think
you need to figure out exactly what you're benchmarking.
