Description

We don`t not use explicit username in ext cvs url because the same module (and pom) may be used by different developers. Each developer could connect to cvs server by ext method (via ssh) by own login name. So that all cvs commits is personalized.
With maven1 there was no problem when cvs url looks like: "scm:cvs:ext:SERVER:/var/cvs2:MODULE" - maven could connect to cvs using local user name.
But with Continuum (which based on maven-scm modules) it is not works any more because maven-scm-provider-cvs requires explicit user name in url for ext method. (I think, the same is true for maven2 too).
So, is it possible to use System Property "user.name" for user name with ext method when explicit one not specified?
