http://alexm.here.ru/cvs-nserver/ architecture allows for very simple
SSLizing of CVS-pserver.  The problem (if that is the problem) is to find
somebody who will write cvs-sslserver and SSLize the client.  

(I hope that no one will ever propose using something different from
SSL/TLS? ;)

And yes, SSL support is greatly needed.
