Got nothing to do with CVS or AnonCVS.  You are not getting the right
definition of `glib.m4'.  As I suggested in my other mail, tell
`aclocal' to look for it in the right place.  Now, where is my $64,000
;-).

I strongly doubt it.  I think that AnonCVS.gnome.org keeps up with
CVS.gnome.org using `rsync' or something like that.  It gets the
repository files (,v files) and has exactly the same revision history.
I don't think AnonCVS gives write access to anyone.  The only cases of
"divergence" I've seen are when sometimes AnonCVS lags behind CVS for a
couple of days.
