Description

I've been experiencing problems on initial checkout of a Maven 2 project under Continuum 1.0.3 when using following syntax of SCM:

scm:cvs:pserver:user@host:port:repository:module

Error in Continuum is as follows:

Provider message: The cvs command failed.
Command output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
port/repository: no such repository
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server host rejected access to port/repository for user user
cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like the provider is preppending the port to the repository and trying a wrong CVS command.
