Re: [zackw@stanford.edu: cvs/ssh random observation]
Since we are on this topic, I noticed that using CVS over SSH is very
unreliable at cvs.xemacs.org. The GCC people are using this method for several
years now and it's been very reliable for them and certainly for me. I'm
talking about files which are not checked-out/updated, sudden disconnects from
the remote CVS server etc. Martin mentions this on the Web site. What is wrong
with the cvs.xemacs.org setup that makes it unreliable?

Throwing "Cipher blowfish" into .ssh/config speeds up "cvs update"
over ssh by 25%. [I have a fast pipe; YMMV.]
If this is true for lots of people, we might want to consider adding
it to the cvs write instructions on the website.
