Yeah, it should probably take a port number too

The "ext" protocol invokes an external program, such as ssh, to
open a connection. That program then executes "cvs server" at
the other end. You talk to the server instance at the other end
through the connection opened by ssh.
The cvsclient protocol documentation does leave something to be
desired, but it is easily available as info pages. Probably, on
the web also.
