Actually you can! It's not widely known, but there's an rsyncd on
sources.redhat.com. To do this you can rsync from
sources.redhat.com::ecos-cvs for example:
$ rsync -v -a sources.redhat.com::ecos-cvs .

However this should only be used as a last resort as the full repository is
much larger than just a checkout. Please don't abuse it.
