I use WinCVS/PuTTY/Pageant pretty much daily to check stuff into/out of SF.
You have to follow the SF SSH instructions to the letter, including waiting
the requisite amount of time for the keyfile to replicate.  Tghe other
little wrinkle is that if you're using PuTTY, you have to click the
Settings... button by Authentication and make sure WinCVS is using plink as
its ssh client.  Not obvious...

Catch me off-list - peter at ozzard dot org - and we'll see if we can
persuade it to work.  Much of the problem isn't WinCVS, it's SF's rather
peculiar approach to authentication.  If you're having real problems, we'll
get in touch with the WinCVS author, who frequents one of the other lists
I'm on.
