I take it your talking about adding that to the cvs tree ex 
src/usr.sbin/rsync ?

I was mainly talking about cvsync because it can be made to compile 
straight
without dependencies. As for the cases it handles is something 
different, I
think an actual switch is a slight change in the handling of the source 
for the
project. Though perhaps something that should be explored a little more 
?
As myself and many, many other would love to have cvsup like 
capabilities
by default....
