>Description:
When invoked in client-server mode, a command like "cvs update dir/"
gives confusing results. It seems to be looking at files in the
current directory as well as the named directory, and getting
things wrong for the current directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
The following transcript gives an example of the behaviour. The
current directory contains 3 unmodified files, and subdir
contains several unmodified and 1 modified file. I would expect
the first 6 lines of output to be omitted.
nturton@kodiak:src$ cvs -q update subdir/
cvs update: move away ./AUTHORS; it is in the way
C AUTHORS
cvs update: move away ./COPYING; it is in the way
C COPYING
cvs update: move away ./ChangeLog; it is in the way
C ChangeLog
M subdir/Makefile.in
nturton@kodiak:src$
>Fix:
Use the form without the trailing slash:
nturton@kodiak:src$ cvs -q update subdir
M subdir/Makefile.in
