[PATCH] do_editor needs to mind access method

[darkness]

        Greetings.

        When running "cvs import" with
CVSROOT=:pserver:foo@localhost:/path/to/cvsroot I would get the error:

cvs import: cannot open /path/to/cvsroot/CVSROOT/rcsinfo: Permission denied

        I believe I've tracked this down to logmsg.c:do_editor.  It
doesn't bother to check the access method (CVSroot_method) before
trying to read $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/rcsinfo.  I'm not sure that I've fixed
it the right way, but it seemed to make the most sense (and was quick
:) ).  Patch is attached against SuSE cvs-1.11-87 (looks pretty
vanilla).  A brief examination of import.c and logmsg.c in 1.11.1p1
doesn't show anything that resembles this change.

        Note that parseinfo.c:Parse_Info actually generates the above
error as near as I can tell, and because of checks it does it doesn't
complain if the fopen failed because the file doesn't exist.  In my
case, though, I was running the client and server on the same machine
and the client couldn't read $CVSROOT because of permissions; thus
I would get the error.

        Please feel free to contact me directly (I'm not subscribed to
bug-cvs) for information/berating.
