I'd suggest taking a look at the sync refactoring in 2.1; the SYNC |
| 8 |
syntax will need to be extended for this, since you'll need to specify |
| 9 |
both remote and local user. |

The new format doesn't cover that case, although it's not too hard to |
| 22 |
mangle it in; say (and I realize this is counter to normal uri |
| 23 |
specification) |
| 24 |
#cvs://[CVS_RSH binary:][local user]@[remote user][:remote pass]@host:cvs_root:module |
| 25 |
example... |
| 26 |
cvs://ssh:bharring@ferringb@××××××××××.org:/var/cvsroot:gentoo-x86 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
say sf.net |

Either way, the old SYNC CVS uri handling doesn't really cut it and |
| 32 |
needs overhauling; the CVS_RSH trickery should be left in also, since |
| 33 |
not everyone is going to have ssh remotely. |
