You misunderstand.
I use several different repositories, using different pserver ports. It
is by no means "slightly less convenient" to have to set CVS_CLIENT_PORT
each time I move between repositories. It is not convenient at all....
My proposal has very little to do with command-line syntax. I of course
normally have the "pserver/port" specification in my Root files.
