Git with a hook is the tidiest, but if there is an existing CVS repo, then
rsync with  --cvs-exclude etc could be an option.

Re: [rancid] Rancid - Changing Config Backup Directory

[Gauthier, Chris]

We setup rancid and, more specifically Git, to automatically push the local 
repo commit by rancid to the remote repo.  This eliminates having to mount 
filesystems and gives you a nice backup.  Plus, if the remote repo has a GUI, 
you can have "pretty" access to your backups.

only "clone"ing in git retains your history (ie: is complete).  which is
why i suggested switching.
