This is the first time I have ever heard
of the "ssh" connection method for CVS. Usually, SSH is used
by configuring the "ext" conenction method using the CVS_RSH
environment variable. I also couldn't find any information on the connection
method using google.
I found this in relation to the ssh connection method.
http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.shtml#ssh
and based on this link also its clear that I should use ext. I come from subversion world, and am learning to using CVS at my new organization, so this is a bit confusing.
Is this a new connection method for the latest CVS
releases or something specific to Tortoise? In either case, it is not support
by Eclipse.
Yeah, i guess this is the easiest and quickest way for now.
2) Write your own plug-in that provides
an ssh connection method. All you would need is the extension point that
registeres the ssh connection method. You could just use the same classes
that the extssh connection methods use. Have a look at the org.eclipse.team.cvs.ssh2
plug-in to see how this could be done.
If the ssh conection method is provided
by Tortoise, you probably should log a bug against Eclipse/Platform/CVS
to request support for this.
If you could second based on the above link that it qualifies as a bug then I would be happy to file a bug/develop a patch.
