I tried the new version and found I'm unable to import via pserver:

  $ ./cvsps --root :pserver:me@localhost:/cvsroot module
  cvsps: connect error: Connection refused
  cvsps: can't get CVS log data: Connection refused

Running 2.2b1 (the version packaged w/ Fedora 17) with the same
arguments with the addition of --cvs-direct connects OK.  I haven't
taken much time to look into this, so I might be doing something dumb.
 Thought I'd find out if this is a known issue before delving into it.

Also, I'm curious what impact removing the caching from cvsps will
have on incremental imports.  Is there any?

Thanks,
