I tried again to submit this myself, i did
export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
export CVSROOT=bug1 at busybox.net:/var/cvs
and then from a subdirectory under /home/bug1 i tried
cvs login : failed this only works with pserver type error
cvs co : this worked, asked me for my password, which it seemed to
accept, then downloaded the whole lot.
I then did a diff of the newly created busybox against my version to
check what has changed, then i applied the diff to busybox i checked
out.
then i tried to do
cvs commit
i get
cvs commit: authorization failed: server busybox.net rejected
access
cvs commit: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password
But i cant login unless i use the pserver method, which is an
alternative to using ssh isnt it ?
So from the message cvs gives it looks like it should be impossible to
commit using ssh.
Of course i must be doing something wrong...
I really admire the people who created CVS, they are very creative, they
managed to come up with an interface that is completely unlike anything
else in existance.
There must be a better way !
