Re: [BorCVS-support] How to make BorCVS work with SF.net CVS server?

[Thomas B. <th...@bl...>]

Hello!

Well, I did not try this yet. Maybe you can try to play with the "CVS 
command" option in BorCVS to mimic WinCVS's commands and see if that 
works?

BTW, what I think is missing from your CVSROOT string is the connection 
method, which, in this case, should be "ext", I think. You also have to 
set the environment variables to force CVS to use SSH as described in the 
Cederqvist manual...
