I've read it carefully, several times; please give me some minimal
benefit of the doubt.

That page doesn't make it clear that it applies to my case: it doesn't
mention the two ways of entering the Emacs CVS repository, and thus it
is not clear that the phrase about the ``old password'' is talking,
among others, about moving from one method of accessing the repository
to the other.

Sorry, I cannot use SSH in the case of Emacs: many times I commit
changes from my home machine which runs MS-Windows.  Since ssh-agent
doesn't work on Windows, it means I need to type my passphrase each
time I run any of the CVS commands.  It is impractical for me to do so.

Is it possible to enable pserver with the /cvsroot/emacs method of
accessing the repository?  If not, why not? (since the old method does
allow it).

TIA
