CVS likes to add ",v" to files - if you wanted to download them
from the public CVS server (code.open-bio.org) you would have
had to use the CVS command line tool.

However, we don't use CVS anymore, we use git. See:
http://www.biopython.org/wiki/SourceCode

If you really want to use rsync you *might* be able to point it
at http://biopython.org/SRC/biopython/

P.S. Why did you try downloading with rsync from the code.open-bio.org?
Is there something confusing in our documentation we can fix? Thanks!
