So basically compatibility (as far as CVSROOT is concerned) between cvshome
and cvsnt doesn't exist... and compatibility for everything outside CVSROOT
(the rcs files) is a one-way street from cvshome to cvsnt.

FWIW, for read-only mirroring its not too much of a problem (just an
inconvenience) to hack CVSROOT from cvshome to cvsnt so cvsnt can host the
mirror.
