Re: cvsimport still not working with cvsnt

CVS do with CVSROOT containing a space character?

IIRC, the comparison is done against canonicalized cvsroot string, so that
you can try to connect to :pserver:Xz.Com:/path/to/repo even after you ran
"cvs -d :pserver:xz.com:/path/to/repo login" and I wouldn't be surprised
if the canonicalization involved quoting SP.  Since August 2009 nobody has
complained with the current code that doesn't do any canonicalization, and
I take that as a sign that nobody sane so far used a cvsroot with a space
in it ;-).  But that doesn't mean nobody sane has been using a cvsroot
with an equal sign in it, so we would need to at least avoid splitting at
an equal sign when reading from .cvsroot.

It probably is a good idea to port the cvsroot canonicalization code to
cvsimport in any case.
