the crw hack

I've been using the following crw script for writes; is this still necessary? #!/bin/sh # With cvs.xemacs.org, it seems we need a special `crw' program to # do any writing operation to the repository. The problem seems to be # that this version of CVS (at least in older versions? Maybe or maybe # not always?) had some bugs that made various operations fail. So we # create a dual-access system where read-only operations are done # throuth a different CVS server for the same respository, using the #:pserver: method rather than the :ext:. The :pserver: method was # OK for read-only stuff, but not good for writing (perhaps because # it little or no security). Other systems will just use using the #:ext: system or something and it seems to work for everything. if [ -e CVS -a -e CVS/Root ] && cat CVS/Root | grep cvs.xemacs.org ; then exec env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -w -z3 -d :ext:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs ${1+"$＠"} else exec env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -w -z3 ${1+"$＠"} fi
