I have to import part of public cvs repository that is protected by password (which is "anoncvs"): > export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/ncvs > cvs login And now I can use cvs and cvsps, when I try git however: > git cvsimport -vk projects/pkgtools AuthReply: I HATE YOU It seems that it does not send the password. From captured network conversation: -> BEGIN AUTH REQUEST -> /home/ncvs -> anoncvs -> A -> END AUTH REQUEST <- I HATE YOU But `cat ~/.cvspass`: /1 :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:2401/home/ncvs Ay=0=h<Z So why is git not sending the password ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
