we disabled vhecking out release modules, it was causing a huge slowdown in
cvs actions. you can check out devel still i think but that is all.
I think checking out release modules still needs to be possible. If
that means we need to use a read-only mirror to facilitate this, I'd be
okay with it, but not being able to check out a tree is a pretty bad
regression that I just ran into. For the record, it would make doing
moz security updates much more scriptable as I don't need to rely on
people telling me when their packages need to be added/dropped to the
auto rebuilds.
