[Monotone-devel] cvssync: embedding port numbers in CVSROOT

[Daniel THOMPSON]

My revision of CVS 1.11.21 (Fedora RPM revision -3.2) has taken to
embedding the port number in the CVSROOT in a manner that monotone's
cvssync code does not comprehend.

Basically CVSROOT looks like this:
:pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/repository

The current code in .cvssync splits this up so that the host is
cvs.bri.st.com while the repo is at 2401/home/repository. Obviously the
server decides it hates you when you do this (and it told us so).

While (in this case) it is easy to remove the 2401 from the command line
this then results in failure to lookup in .cvspass since it tried to
match the line without a port number in it.

My own, rather clumsy, workaround (without modifying the code) has been
to remove the 2401 from the mtn command line and to hand modify my
.cvspass file.
