Goal: set up an ssh-encrypted CVS server on hadron, without
root access.


Set up the repository:
    % setenv CVSROOT ~/cvsroot
    % mkdir $CVSROOT
    % cd $CVSROOT
    % cvs init
    % cd ~/wrk/tyler
    % ci RCS/*          (to unlock everything)
    % cp -a RCS $CVSROOT/tyler
Test it on my local machine:
    % mkdir ~/cvswrk
    % cd ~/cvswrk
    % cvs checkout tyler
Cool, it works...
    % scp -r $CVSROOT hatch@plunk.org:cvsroot
    % mkdir ~/hide
    % mv $CVSROOT ~/hide    (so I don't accidentally use it)
    plunk% cd ~/cvsroot/CVSROOT
    plunk% cat > passwd
        hatch::
        green::
    plunk% htpasswd passwd hatch
        password: hyler
    plunk% htpasswd passwd green
        password: tylerguy

    And asked Brad to add --allow-root=/home/hatch/cvsroot
    to /etc/xinitd.d/cvspserver

To point to it from a client machine:
    % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:hatch@plunk.org:/home/hatch/cvsroot
    % cvs login
    % cvs checkout tyler
        This should create (in the current directory):
            tyler/
            tyler/Makefile
            tyler/Tyler.htm
            tyler/Tyler.java
            tyler/Tyler.mf
