+1 on Junio's notes and patch.

Can someone with a real TortoiseCVS and a real cvs server sniff the
connection and catch the noop? (Can TortoiseCVS write debug logs of
the conversation with the server?)

Hysterical note: the original implementation of cvsserver was done
reading the output of `cvs -t $opts $cmd`, and ocassionally sniffing
the traffic on the wire or ssh connection.

Probably not a major issue for 'noop' though :-)

cheers,
