As you dug that far, could you find out what happens when cvsroot contains
an equal-sign character in its path component?

I am starting to suspect that we do need two separate codepaths, and we
would need to split out the logic to find matching password entry given a
cvsroot value into a separate function to keep our sanity after all.
