When a commit is done from different methods (:pserver: or :ext:), commitinfo
commands are called with different arguments making it impractical to have both
ssh and pserver access on the same repository.

When called from a pserver, commitinfo pass the username/login as the first
argument, the directory/repository as the seconds arg, and the filenames after that.
When called through SSH with the ext method, commitinfo pass the
directory/repository as the first argument and the filenames after that.

The documentation describes the second way, I could not find mention of the
username being passed to commitinfo through the commandline. The username is
supposed to be accessible from CVS_USERNAME env variable.
