It seems in fact to be the way to have a correct cvs client
setup. I'm not sure we should add this to documentation
since it's not savannah specific.

Anyway, people will find this page when searching with
google or another for this kind of issue.

Thanks for the feedback.

This, credit to Tom Copeland (of the address@hidden 
list), did the trick, with some tweaking!

Hi Tomas - 

Here's what works for me.  First, open a DOS window, and 
then do a: 

============== 
C:\tmp>set 
CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gforge 

C:\tmp>set CVS_RSH=c:\bin\ssh\ssh.exe 

C:\tmp>set HOME=c: 

C:\tmp>cvs co gforge 
cvs server: Updating gforge 
U gforge/AUTHORS 
U gforge/COPYING 
U gforge/ChangeLog 

etc., etc. 
============== 

Of course, you'll need to replace "gforge" with your own 
project name. 
Note also that: 

1) on my Windows machine c:\bin\ssh\ssh.exe is a SSH1 
client 

2) in c:\.ssh I have a private key, the matching public key 
for which 
I've uploaded to Savannah via the text field on "Edit SSH 
Keys" page 
which is linked to from the "Account Configuration" page.  
Savannah only 
allows CVS authentication via public/private key exchange, 
not via 
password authentication. 

Good luck! 

Yours, 

Tom
