Based on the information that I found in
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.cvs.tortoisecvs.user/month=20080701/page=2

and

You can solve this problem if you change the line
extssh = ssh_protocol.dll
to
extssh = ssh.dll
in the file C:\Program Files (x86)\CVSNT\protocol_map.ini (Windows 7)
and move the file to
C:\Program Files (x86)\CVSNT\protocols\protocol_map.ini (Windows 7)
Hope this helps somebody
