I haven't looked in a while, but last time I did the INSTALL document
didn't include any instructions for how to setup encryption on the
communication channels. Setting up a basic web server is pretty easy,
but setting up a secure web server seems to be a lot more work (I can't
tell for sure since I've never successfully set one up). With CVS, I
don't have to worry about this since it will happily use ssh as the
transport mechanism (I need ssh installed anyway).
