Yeah that's pretty much what I do with wxWidgets to get around the
dire slowness of CVS. Do a "cvs up" (so that would be an "svn up" with
appropriate revision things), then an rsync, excluding the unwanted
directories. To that would have to be added an "autogen".

Not relevant for what Vadim wants to do, but I then sync everything into
svk, so I can check out a new version of wxWidgets, do "svk up" etc.,
and it all works instantly. svk is effectively a local-only version of
svn. One day its cvs connector will work properly so the cron job &
rsync becomes unnecessary.
