RE: [platform-vcm-dev] How to use an already checked out cvs-project in Eclipse?

Commands that I miss now are thinkgs like "cvs -n update"
(e.g. to find out about the changes in a module) or the
administration commands.

Sometimes it is also more convenient to use the (more compact)
diff/log commands of a command line tool. Although I really
like the visual compare tool you provide!

So let me ask you: is it planned to support the "ext" method?
Or the other way round: what is the reason to use "extssh"?
