Title:
  cvsps chokes on servers that print more than one "M" response to
  "version" command

Status in cvsps package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the CVS server prints more than on "M" response line to the
  "version" command, cvsps prints "cvs_direct: protocol error reading
  version" and fails to read the repository.

  For example, cvsps does not like the following exchange:

  Client: version
  Server: M Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
  Server: M with CVSACL Patch 1.2.5 (cvsacl.sourceforge.net)
  Server: ok

  I know that cvsps has been deprecated upstream in favor of cvs-fast-
  export, but it is still used by 'git cvsimport'.
