I don't believe I had heard of CVSync before.  And believe it
or not, from your earlier message I was wondering if it was
for CVS or Subversion...

You might wonder how I could POSSIBLY think something called
CVSync would have been for subversion.  I can only say that
it must have been the severe head-cold that I was fighting
this past weekend -- or perhaps the generous doses of Nyquil
that I was using to fight it...

Is it a drop-in replacement for CVSup?  Or is it an alternate
service?  (Ie, do people need a CVSync server to use the CVSync
client, or can they use a CVSup server with the client?)
