Hi all,

sorry for the long delay, but I finally sat down, hacked two testcases and amended the patch after rebasing to the most recent HEAD. Find it attached to this mail.

Ciao, Dirk

Subject: [PATCH] git-cvsimport: add support for cvs pserver password scrambling.

Instead of a cleartext password, the CVS pserver expects a scrambled one in the authentication request. With this patch it is possible to import CVS repositories only accessible via pserver and user/password.
