setting up git-cvsserver

[Uwe Zeisberger <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>]

Hello,

I cannot checkout a git repo via cvs, I think the only problem is, that
I don't know how to specify the CVSROOT:

fs-n1:~# grep git- /etc/inetd.conf 
2402    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/sbin/git-cvsserver pserver

fs-n1:~# GIT_DIR=/data/vcs/git/LxNETES-2.4/bl.git git var -l
core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
gitcvs.enabled=1
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT=root <root@fs-n1.fsforth.de> 1154447177 +0200
GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT=root <root@fs-n1.fsforth.de> 1154447177 +0200

uzeisberger@io:~$ cvs -d :pserver:fs-c:2402/data/vcs/git/LxNETES-2.4/bl.git login
Logging in to :pserver:uzeisberger@fs-c:2402/data/vcs/git/LxNETES-2.4/bl.git
CVS password: 
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from fs-c: Unknown command BEGIN VERIFICATION REQUEST at /usr/local/sbin/git-cvsserver line 132, <STDIN> line 1.
uzeisberger@io:~$ cvs -d :pserver:fs-c:2402/data/vcs/git/LxNETES-2.4/bl.git co master
cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from fs-c: Unknown command BEGIN AUTH REQUEST at /usr/local/sbin/git-cvsserver line 132, <STDIN> line 1.

cvs version is 1.12.13 (Debian)
git-cvsserver is from v1.4.2-rc2-gbc9e1b8
rest of git is 1.4.0

probably I'm just too stupid to read and understand the docs...

Best regards
Uwe
