 LIMITATIONS
 -----------
 
-Currently cvsserver works over SSH connections for read/write clients, and
-over pserver for anonymous CVS access.
-
 CVS clients cannot tag, branch or perform GIT merges.

 ------

+Only anonymous access is provided by pserve by default. To commit you
+will have to create pserver accounts, simply add a [gitcvs.users]
+section to the repositories you want to access, for example:
+
+------
+   
+   [gitcvs.users]
+        someuser = somepassword
+        otheruser = otherpassword
+   
+------
+Then provide your password via the pserver method, for example:
+------
+   cvs -d:pserver:someuser:somepassword@server/path/repo.git co <HEAD_name>
+------
 No special setup is needed for SSH access, other than having GIT tools
 in the PATH. If you have clients that do not accept the CVS_SERVER
 environment variable, you can rename git-cvsserver to cvs.
