FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.

CVS replace buffer that was just imported with the backup from the Attic
cleanup. This should look identical to what Steve committed, except
it has all the history resurrected.
if you ever nhave needed to do something like:
tar cf - <big_dir> | rsh cat > /dev/tape then you will appreciate this.
do something like
tar cf - <big_dir> | buffer | rsh othersys "cat | buffer > /dev/tape"
to enjoy HUGE increases in speed while your tape drive does not
incessantly back/forth/stop/start.
