svn for offline?

[Ben]

I'm no expert on CVS (by any means), so this question has led me to
look up more info on CVS and subversion
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch02s02.html#svn-ch-2-sect-2.3).
One thing I do have some exposure and experience with is rsync though.

Could rsync handle the branches to trunk resolution? There's and
example of mirroring a CVS tree at
http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html that seems like, if applied in
the right order and changed a little to fit current needs, may
accomplish computer A, B , and C's changes.
