Some clarifications, based on a couple questions I have received:

- This is for the onnv-clone module on onnv.sfbay.  It's accessible via
   an rsync source path of onnv.sfbay::onnv-clone.

- This is NOT the preferred method for keeping a clone up to date, it will
   merely continue to work if you were already using it.  For keeping a
   remote clone repository up to date, please use Mercurial.

- This IS useful for stuff that lives in the clone, but is not under
   source code management.  For example, cscope databases.  Though these
   days, I imagine you could build them yourself with reasonably
   efficiency.
