[scponly] compare and contrast - scponly vs. rssh ?

[Kaleb Pederson]

I think it's really based on user need.  I added svn client support, whereas 
svnserver support was already present.  If somebody really needed it, we 
would probably, as time permits, add support for other programs such as rdist 
and cvs.  Note that rsync support has been included for some time... and I 
suppose some of us would consider it more 'de facto' then rdist.

Thanks for your comments.
