^- when I was working on "cvsps-import" the major benefit was that "cvs
co" entered a busy-wait loop until the time.time() clicked over a
second, to avoid race conditions. I eventually worked out that you can
checkout to stdout to avoid that sort of issue.

But as I understand it, that was the primary reason to use "rcs" since
then you could actually update more than 1 file per second...
