CVSconnect enables you to do multiple CVS operations on single connection. CVSconnect sets up special environment using $CVS_RSH and $CVSROOT for the command line CVS client. In the environment, the command line CVS client reuses a connection.
CVSconnect is especially designed to use with CVSsuck. And CVSconnect (or similar) will be integrated to a future version of CVSsuck. However, it is planned that CVSsuck directly connects to a cvs server without cvs command.
