>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium

>Description:
Using CVS version 1.10.8
CVS checkout to specified directory does not appear to function correctly
via client/sever.
While attempting to checkout a file from the CVS repository (on the server)
to the current working directory on the client using the following command
:
cvs -d server:/CVSREP co -d . mbd/common/boot/makefile
produces the following error
cvs server: existing repository /CVSREP does not match
/CVSREP/mbd/common/boot
cvs server: ignoring module mbd/common/boot/makefile
This error message appears to suggest that the -d argument which belongs to
the co part is being passed to the server and evaluated on the server.
>How-To-Repeat:
repeat above command.
>Fix:
cd back to the directory above mbd and ommit the -d option.
This solution is not ideal when using cvs commands within a makefile.
