clcommit - questions from ssh are suppressed

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

clcommit in the CVS version of cvs-util redirects stderr from cvs to 
/dev/null.  This is wrong - not only does it suppress possible error 
messages from cvs itself (you don't want to ignore them when you are 
committing stuff, do you?), but it also suppresses questions from ssh if 
the "ext" protocol is used.  ssh can ask for example:

The authenticity of host 'foo (10.1.1.1)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 12:34:...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 

But the user doesn't see the question and waits for clcommit to complete!

I know that I have write access, but I want at least one "Ok".
