Details by :
In order to encourage people to use tarball downloads rather than check everything out of our repositories, we should discuss with Arachsys about throttling access to cvs and svn.
In an ideal world, you’d make it run flat-out for a while and then throttle-back beyond a certain point (e.g. lower the bandwidth the more the user tries to access). That way, it would be fine for checking out the odd component but increasingly crap for bigger checkouts.
That might be too much to ask, however. So simply making cvs and svn accesses “acceptably slow” would be the simple option.

SVN is only being used for web site sources presently and has a fairly low demand. The CVS repository will be online for Batch Two, so I’m deferring this.

So far throttling has proved unnecessary. Closing the fault for now; it can always be reopened in future if demand outstrips server capacity.
