problems with multipl hosts access git-cvsserver after a git push

Hi, I'm looking at moving from cvs to git and I'm working on our build process. There are a few machines where we don't have git and were hoping to use git-cvsserver to provide read only access for the builds, but I've run into a bit of a snag.

The build process begins a checkout on all the build machines simultaneously, it looks as though when this happens have changes have been pushed, the first cvs pull is updating the database to reflect the git repo, other cvs clients are blocked and give up after awhile.....

Any thoughts how to "fix" this? I suppose I could just stop doing the simultaneous pulls for cvs but that's a bigger change than I wanted to make. The only other idea I've come up with is to run a separate git-cvsserver for each host that must use cvs (there's only a few), that way it can't be blocked by another host, but that's kind of clunky to manage....

cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database is locked(5) at dbdimp.c line 403 at /usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 3253, <FILELIST> chunk 2.' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database is locked(5) at dbdimp.c line 403 at /usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 3326.' from cvs server

... (message repeated many times with only small variations) ...

cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database is locked(21) at dbdimp.c line 376 at /usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 3326.' from cvs server cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database is locked(21) at dbdimp.c line 376 at /usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 3331.' from cvs server cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Thanks,
