KDevelop bug

Hi,

I'd let you know about a little bug.  In kdevelop/vc/cvsdialog.cpp,
a KShellProcess is created with a NULL shell.  The problem with this
is that KShellProcess "tries very hard to find a working shell", starting
with the SHELL env variable and working it's way from there.  The
cvs commit command is written as a /bin/sh type command which doesn't
work very well if passed to /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh or ...  You may want
to create the KShellProcess specifing that /bin/sh is the shell to be used.

Thanks.

...Eric
