If I correctly recall what I found out from cvs's changelog while looking at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/163979/focus=167178 I think the versioned entries are already downcased, so the above, including the "FIXME", looks correct.

As I wrote in another message in that thread, I think this codepath should be refactored a bit better so that it can handle subtle differences between versions and implementations of cvs itself, and also these versioned entries. A good first step might be to separate out the body of the innermost loop we see here that process one entry from the cvspass file into a helper function.

Can you give an eyeball on the update of 077aac1 (Look for password in both CVS and CVSNT password files., 2011-02-18) posted by Guy Rouillier today and help testing it, and put this fix on top that?

Thanks.
