I'm not crazy about a CVS-specific property. I may be in the
minority, but I've been using Maven a long time and never with CVS
(mostly Perforce and StarTeam). Typically, I put the passwords in
~/build.properties, with owner-only rw privileges if I'm concerned.
My repository connection then looks like this:
<repository>
<connection>
scm:starteam:${starteam.username}:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
</connection>
</repository>
So I guess I prefer maven.changelog.password if you want a standard,
but you really don't need one.
