Hi!
I was checking "FreeBSD ports" project to see my commits and found, that CVS data is not retrieved, hanging in a failed state for 3 months.
Manual 'cvs co' works though, so I don't know, what the problem could be.
:pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs@anoncvs.fr.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs ports
Is the configured CVS server. Here are the alternative ones, if any:

Hi Timur,
We have a lot of history with the FreeBSD ports repository.
The disappointing truth is that this repository is too large and the history is too long to be processed by Ohloh. We've swallowed some large repositories in our day, but this is one of the few that is simply too large.
It's true that checkout of any individual revision does work, and we've successfully checked out many of them, but Ohloh works by processing the entire history, and this repository has hundreds of thousands of revisions -- it would take Ohloh years to finish.
We've tried various strategies, including using cvsup to create a local mirror, but without major changes to our CVS importer it's not going to be possible.
If this repository were to be converted to, say, Git, we might have better luck.
Thanks, Robin
