*sigh* - took me a while to recognize that it's actually the commandline 
in the docs(anoncvs config is fine) that are resulting in that problem - 
we recommend -C as an rsync parameter and the docs for that state:

 -C, --cvs-exclude              This  is a useful shorthand for excluding a broad range 
of files              that you often don't want to transfer between systems. 
It  uses              the  same  algorithm that CVS uses to determine if a file 
should              be ignored.
              The exclude list is initialized to:
                     RCS  SCCS  CVS  CVS.adm   RCSLOG   cvslog.*   tags   TAGS                     .make.state
.nse_depinfo*~ #* .#* ,* _$* *$ 
 
*.old *.bak                     *.BAK *.orig *.rej .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so  *.exe                     *.Z *.elc
*.lncore .svn/
 

so this is actually a documentation bug - not an infrastructure bug :-)
