I use the following script to rsync the repository now and then:

  #!/bin/sh
  #
  # Mirror the CVS repository of Emacs.  Information about rsync and
  # the rsync incantation to mirror the repo, obtained from:
  #
  # Ken Raeburn, raeburn at raeburn.org
  # Message-Id: <address@hidden>
  # on emacs-devel
  #

  rsync   --delete --force --recursive \
          --links --safe-links --hard-links --times \
          --compress --progress -vv --stats \
          cvs.savannah.gnu.org::sources/emacs/ /home/emacs/

Many belated thanks to Ken Raeburn, who initially pointed me at this
method of obtaining a local CVS repository :)
