Never mind, I figured this out. Here is the lowdown:
1) First, the JBoss Developer page is wrong about the required CVS userid.
The page claims it should be
:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jboss
but in reality (as the SourceForge page states) it should be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jboss
2) Regarding the verification steps below, the SourceForge page is wrong on
step 4. Because the shell is restricted, you don't get the echo back. What
I got back below is correct. (I confirmed this by looking at the
SourceForge bug reports. Several other people reported this same thing.)
3) Here is the clincher. Many other people were having the same problem as
me ("commit" requires write access to the repository"). I went out and
walked the dog (at 1:30 am!!!) and that helped clear my head. I suddenly
realized that do matter what I did to my userid in 1) above, I always got
the same result. That finally struck me as peculiar; one of the formats had
to be wrong, and I should have gotten an error message on one of them. Then
I remembered that brain-impaired WinCvs (or this a CVS problem) keeps the
userid used to check out files in the CVS/Root file in each directory. It
then uses *** that *** userid from then on, no matter what you put in the
Preferences dialog. This is a serious bug. So I renamed the entire
contrib directory to oldcontrib, and then checked out the contrib module
again with credentials set as in 1) above. Finally, I was able to commit
changes.
