You can setup a CVS repository mirror on your server and then install a
cvsup server on it and share the collection. But be aware that this
method needs quite a bit of diskspace and also a fast disk and large
memmory for the cvsup process to be fast. But the advantage is that you
will have the complete repository on your server so after syncing, you
will be able to use it totally offline.

Hope this help!

P.S. Happy New Year!
