[cvsnt] create new repository

[Bo Berglund]

When you connect to a cvs server you have to specify a repository as
the last parameter. Your connection is to *that* repository. The files
in this repository's CVSROOT directory defines who will have access
(passwd), which email addresses users have (users) etc. There is also
a config file there defining how this repository should act, for
example how user authentication should be done.
All in all the repositories are pretty much individual items totally.
So how did you imagine that you could connect remotely to a repository
and then create *another one*??
Which type of authentication should be used? Etc, etc.
It simply cannot be done in any other way than using the :local:
connection when actually sitting at the computer console.
(And for CVSNT on Windows NT by using the Control Panel configuration
utility.)
