Subject: [PATCH] git-cvsserver: authentication support for pserver
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Allow git-cvsserver to use authentication over pserver mode. The
pserver user/password database is stored in the config file for each
repository.
