The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.
Despite that, passing a list of repository roots is necessary for
per-user access control by the hosting software, and passing a base
path improves usability without weakening security. Thus,
git-cvsserver needs to come up with these values at runtime by some
other means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other
purposes, the environment can carry these arguments as well.
Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOTS} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

Subject: [PATCH] CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.

Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOTS} in
