The only minor thing I'd bring up is that I recall one reason for cvsup is that rsync placed a relatively higher load per client on the server. Of course, that may complaint may date from when people only had 400Mhz CPUs and older versions of rsync, so I doubt it's a strong reason to stay with cvsup any more.
