Well, that's exactly what I'm trying to do but according to the cvs -t
output, the script I tell it to use is ignored:
~ > cvs -t -d :ext:lohner@localhost:/cvs co -c
cvs checkout: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:lohner@localhost:/cvs
-> Starting server: ssh localhost -l lohner cvs server
It just sticks to plain SSH for some reason- the above example was jsut to
show that it ignored the var and used just 'ssh' instead. Maybe the cvs -t
ourput is wrong? But I don't think so: I don'e see it connecting ot the
tunnel when I do pass it a proper script. I have no ~/.cvsrc file, and no
other place I can think of would override it.
