cvs release needs to connect 3 times to the server

[Spiro Trikaliotis]

Hello,

I'm using cvs 1.11.1 (debian/stable) on the server, and cvs 1.11.1
(Debian/stable) and cvs 1.11.6 (cygwin) on the client side.  I use
access method ssh to access my remote repository.

Whenever I do a "cvs release", the client connects three times to the
server, so I have to enter my passphrase (or the password if I don't use
public key authentication) 3 times. This tends to get annoying. ;-)

Is this a bug, a feature, or is there anything I can do about it?

Do newer CVS version behave the same, or is it all because the versions
are "a bit" outdated?

Best regards,
   Spiro.
