Provide a way of setting password for ext connections using internal ssh code
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SCM-424
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-424
             Project: Maven SCM
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: maven-scm-provider-cvs
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Klaus Brunner


ExtConnection apparently has all the necessary stuff in place to initiate an "ext using ssh" connection on its own, without an external ssh command. However, there seems to be no way of setting the password for such connections: ext URLs are fixed to 4 tokens so you can set a username, but not a password (see AbstractCvsScmProvider - not misleading message that there are "too few tokens" when in fact there may be too many....). It's also not retrieved from a system property or such - so it's always "password is null", whatever you do.

Suggestion: try to get the SSH password from a System property.
