The latest version of Andy Robinson's excellent instructions for setting up
a cmdline CVS using SSH under Windows are now available:

    http://python.sourceforge.net/winssh.txt

This is also linked to from the Python-at-SourceForge FAQ:

    http://python.sourceforge.net/sf-faq.html

where it replaces the former "let's try to pretend Windows is Unix(tm)"
mish-mash.  Riaan Booysen cracked the secret of how to get the Windows
ssh-keygen to actually generate keys (ha!  don't think I can't hear you
Unix(tm) weenies laughing <wink>), and that's the main change from the last
version of these instructions I posted here.  I added a lot of words to
Riann's, admonishing you not to leave the passphrase empty, but so
unconvincingly I bet you won't heed my professional advice.
