Yes, I know how aggravating that can be.
Luckily, the repositories for which I suffered the most have all
converted to git upstream, now ;-)

Currently the gdb cvs-to-git sync process runs once per hour, but a run
can take over 20 minutes when every ,v file has been touched by a tag,
so I can't increase the frequency by much.  Even at the best of times
(I've just confirmed) it takes at least 7 minutes.

I've just doubled its frequency, so now it runs at 8 and 38 minutes
after each hour.
