Rails - Apr 2006 - Capistrano with CVS repository doesn''t seem to work

All,

Does anyone has any experience with Capistrano against a CVS repository?

I am unable to successfully pull a revision onto my remote server when 
hitting a CVS repository.

Here is the relevant output from the cap "update_code" task:

  * executing "if [[ ! -d ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases/20060410205540 ]]; 
then\n
                       cd ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases;\n 
CVS_RSH=\"ssh\
" cvs -d :pserver:user:pwd@host:/d//cvs -Q co -D \"2006-04-05 22:4
9:05\"  -d 20060410205540 eSimplyOnlineRails;\n\n              (test -e 
~dusan/e
SimplyTest/revisions.log || touch ~dusan/eSimplyTest/revisions.log && 
chmod 666
~dusan/eSimplyTest/revisions.log) && echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S\"`
$USER 20
06-04-05 22:49:05 20060410205540 >> ~dusan/eSimplyTest/revisions.log;\n
   fi"
    servers: ["192.168.1.102"]
    [192.168.1.102] executing command

Looks to me like this command is probably successfully setting a 
variable named CVS_RSH and that''s pretty much it.  The actual CVS 
command looks right but I don''t think that it ever gets executed.

I replaced user, pwd, and host for their real values :).

Thanks,
Wes Gamble

I am in a strange situation where I have two different IP addresses that 
I need to use to address the CVS repository, so I had to add another 
variable to my Capistrano configuration file and use that to do the 
query for the latest revision.

Still - any Capistrano/CVS heads out there?

Wes,

We''re using Capistrano with CVS.  We love Cap and we appreciate the 
built-in CVS support, though we did end up overriding much of it with 
our own Capistrano::SCM::CvsDuke.

We changed the cvs support so that capistrano will check out a specific 
branch or version and we removed the bit where capistrano needed a local 
cvs.exe.  We also prompt for a cvs password every time. 

If you''re interested, the code is at
