This is what I have been using for a very long time:

rsync -avzH --delete --exclude-from=/home/cvsmirror/pg-exclude
anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs /home/cvsmirror/pg

The exclude file contains:

/sup/
/CVSROOT/loginfo*
/CVSROOT/commitinfo*
/CVSROOT/config*
/CVSROOT/passwd
/CVSROOT/history

cheers
