New submission from Ivan Blazhko <ivan.blazhko at gmail.com>:

Windows Server 2003
CVS client: CVSNT 2.5.03

hg convert fails to authenticate on cvs server:

C:\Users\User>hg convert module module.hg
Initializing destination module.hg repository
connecting to :pserver:user at 192.168.1.12/acme/projects/AC1234
abort: CVS pserver authentication failed

hg convert looks for user password in ~/.cvspass
But the problem is, CVSNT keeps user passwords not in ~/.cvspass, but in
Windows registry, under HKCU\Software\Cvsnt\cvspass key.


Workaround: create .cvspass manually in %USERPROFILE% and copy information
from registry key mentioned above into this file, in format

/1 <CVSROOT:Value name> <Encoded password: value data>
