As Gilbert mentioned in a previous message, I've been tweaking the script
that synchronizes the anonymous CVS tree with the writable one.  (I'm
trying to make things _better_ for anoncvs users, honest! :-))  The trees
are now being synchronized every five minutes, whether the writable tree
has changed or not.  If you have any more trouble, let me know.
