shell: drop git-cvsserver support by default
The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface. Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards compatible. But given the age and development activity on CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS). There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to anybody who really is still running cvsserver. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
