How to quickly add a new repository location to CVS...

The eclipse Add a new CVS Repository dialog allows you to quickly fill the form, if you drop a string like :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/home/dsdp into the Host: field. If you see a string like
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@foo.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/foo login 
at sourceforge, grab the highlighted part (including the colon before pserver)...

You can also select a location in the CVS Repositories view and "Copy to Clipboard" and send it to someone. The receiver can then drop it into the Add a new CVS Repository.
