We use SSH to allow committers to remotely commit from their local
checked out source trees.

For example, I have the following alias:

rcvs    env CVS_RSH=3Dssh cvs -d kris@freefall.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs

For more information on what makes it all work, take a look in
/home/ncvs/CVSROOT for the various support scripts and so on.
