There may perhaps be a misunderstanding of CVSNT. CVSNT is a multi-platform client and server. Both parts can run on many platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Solaris. I don't use Macs so don't know about them. Use of HOME/.cvs/cvspass is not secondary or sub-par. On any platform other than Windows, HOME/.cvs/cvspass is the standard place that CVSNT stores repository passwords. And on Windows, you can optionally tell it to store repository passwords in HOME/.cvs/cvspass instead of the registry. I have my Windows configured that way for consistency with my numerous Linux accounts. The whole reason I resurrected this 2 year old topic is that we are trying to migrate from CVSNT on *Linux* to git. Thanks. -- Guy Rouillier
