Subject: cvsimport does not work with passwords ?
Message-ID: <ipckgd$krd$2@dough.gmane.org>

I have to import part of public cvs repository that is protected by 
password (which is "anoncvs"):

> export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.fr.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
> cvs login

And now I can use cvs and cvsps, when I try git however:

> git cvsimport -vk projects/pkgtools
AuthReply: I HATE YOU

It seems that it does not send the password. From captured network 
conversation:

-> BEGIN AUTH REQUEST
-> /home/ncvs
-> anoncvs
-> A
-> END AUTH REQUEST
<- I HATE YOU

But `cat ~/.cvspass`:
/1 :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:2401/home/ncvs Ay=0=h<Z


So why is git not sending the password ?
