I don't understand: On SF, you cannot checkin through pserver, so I
don't think this statement is literally true. It appears you are not
talking about the Python project here (as Andy Robinson can't commit
to that) - however, I agree this is a current problem. As I said, I
expect this to go away in a few months, atleast for the Python
project.

I have been considering to convert my own anonymous sandboxes to
read-write sandboxes, as well, to always get the current code.

Hmm. There are plenty of alternatives for setting up cvs+ssh on
Windows (OpenSSH, Cygwin OpenSSH and Putty come to mind). My preferred
solution is to use an SSH client which stores private keys in disk
files, and then not use any kind of pass-phrase on the key. Instead,
encrypt the file system with NTFS encryption (requires W2kSP3 or
WXP9). With that, no pass-phrase typing is needed when performing CVS
operations.
