My own experience is:

- original cscvs is not usable (too slow - I killed it after 3 days)
- original cscvs + twisted support is much much much faster but
  eventually filled my partition and aborted
- duffy's experimental branch using sqlite is very fast and very
  economical in disk space (I mean building the cache - I have not yet
  used it for anything else)

you need cscvs--experimental--1.1

if you registered the archive as address@hidden
you will have a slight problem because it branches off
cscvs--duff--1.0 expected to be in archive address@hidden
