CVS repositories requiring password access

Hiyas!

Just wanted to report a problem with CVS access.  Though it works fine
with local and :pserver: repositories, it fails for :ext: repositories
that require a password for transactions.

That is, I use a :ext: repository which is accessed via ``ssh'' (i.e.,
secure shell).  However kdevelop uses a "fire and forget" methodology
with regards to CVS commands; that is, it emits the command string to
a shell and then exits.  So when confronted with a password prompt,
the dialog process blocks indefinitely.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

Cheers!

Mark
