Derek,

>From the CVS manual, I see CVSROOT is indeed specified as:

[:method:][[user][:address@hidden:[port]]/path/to/repository

as you say, without the colon between the hostname and the repository
path. However, SmartCVS does add a colon when putting the various fields
together to create a CVSROOT.

The relevant changes in ChangeLog around 2000/10/17 and parse_cvsroot()
in src/root.c in 1.12.9 suggest that the extra colon is still allowed.
Is it in fact deprecated?
