After I get this patch through, I want to start working on getting the rest of the Perl script to run under Windows. I was almost there; the biggest issue is that Perl implementations (ActiveState, Strawberry) for Windows don't support the list form of open. I converted most of them successfully, but got stuck on one so decided to submit this patch first. Thank goodness I did this separately :). To answer Junio's question, I'm looking at the CVSNT code now (GlobalSettings.cpp, if anyone is interested.) The password is stored in a general fashion like any other user-specified value. So, the authors elected to use a properties file format of key=value. That is as valid a format as any other. -- Guy Rouillier
