Sorry,

the current cvssync code does not recognize port numbers (and you seem
to be the first to come across this restriction) and since I'm currently
reorganizing the code to work separated from core monotone I'm not
inclined to rewrite it in another way now. Adding them is nontrivial
[since the : is hardcoded to separate host and root] but doable.

Looks like I should correctly parse and write port numbers in a future
version.
