Known problems and limitations

Add following to .subversion/servers:

[global]
ssl-authority-files = /path/certificate.crt
ssl-trust-default-ca = yes

Pure Java CVS "Could not read password: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/user/.cvspass"

Create empty file .cvspass

Pure Java CVS "\[ERROR\] Didn't find password for CVSROOT"

Just ignore this message - everything should work fine.

CVS anonymous access not working "org.apache.maven.scm.ScmException: password is required."

Try to set empty password for repository in .cvspass. For example :
