[Bug 1413084] [NEW] cvsps chokes on servers that print more than one "M" response to "version" command

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

If the CVS server prints more than on "M" response line to the "version"
command, cvsps prints "cvs_direct: protocol error reading version" and
fails to read the repository.

For example, cvsps does not like the following exchange:

Client: version
Server: M Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
Server: M with CVSACL Patch 1.2.5 (cvsacl.sourceforge.net)
Server: ok

I know that cvsps has been deprecated upstream in favor of cvs-fast-
export, but it is still used by 'git cvsimport'.
