How does the logging-in work now? I used to do "ssh-add
<my_SF_keyfile>", type in my passphrase, then "export CVS_RSH=ssh",
before I commit something with cvs. I guess at least the export command
has to be changed.
I didn't have to do anything, ssh was clever enough to log me in
automatically as per usual.
Another thing that may be useful to CVS users: an operation that I would
perform very often (at least once a day, but often much more frequently
than that) was
cvs diff -uw
mainly to check what Allin had done during the night (time zones are
_so_ nice). You now simply do
git diff
since unified format is the default for git.
