The current way to store per-repository settings (e.g. pserver
vs. gserver) is encoded in the CVSROOT.  So to extend that, one would
do things like:

   :ext;rsh=/bin/remsh:/foo
   :gserver;encrypt:user@host:/foo
   :pserver;port=2402:user@host:/foo

Maybe other people have different ideas about how best to do this sort
of thing, but the CVSROOT solution has always seemed clean to me.
