Currently twice an hour, though if conversion time gets too long in
the future this will be reduced. (also pushed to gothub as linked from
www.openbsd.org main page).

The conversion ignores the most recent commit to each CVS repo.

CVS commits are not atomic so you can't be sure that the job syncing
to the conversion machine has every file involved in a commit - for
example if a single commit touches some files in a directory near the
start of the alphabet and others in a dir near the end of the alphabet,
it's extremely likely that they won't all be included in a single sync
job. If that safeguard was disabled, there's the risk of inconsistent
conversions if syncing fails for a period of time for whatever reason.
so any given commit to a cvs repo won't show up at all in the conversion
until there's been an additional commit to that repo (ports, src, ...).
