Subject: [PATCH] git-cvsserver: use a password file cvsserver pserver
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If a git repository is shared via HTTP, the config file is typically
visible.  Use an external file instead.

+------
+The format of these files is username followed by the crypted password,
+for example:
 
 ------
+   myuser:$1Oyx5r9mdGZ2
+   myuser:$1$BA)@$vbnMJMDym7tA32AamXrm./
+------
+You can use the 'htpasswd' facility that comes with Apache to make these
+files, but Apache's MD5 crypt method differs from the one used by most C
+library's crypt() function, so don't use the -m option.
+
 Then provide your password via the pserver method, for example:
 ------
    cvs -d:pserver:someuser:somepassword <at> server/path/repo.git co <HEAD_name>
