Exclusions don't work for alias modules

[Stephen Rasku]

Tested CVS 1.10.8 on Solaris 7.

I have a module specified, like so:

        foo     path/to/foo
        FOO     -a foo !foo/ignore-me1 !foo/ignore-me2
        
If I check out foo like this:

        cvs co FOO
        
I get foo with ignore-me1 and ignore-me2 excluded.  This is as it 
should be.  However, if I do:

        cvs co -d foo1 FOO
        
The ignore-me[12] directories are included anyways.

Now, if I specify another module like this:

        bar     another/path/to/bar
        FOOBAR  foo bar !foo/ignore-me1 !bar/ignore-me3
        
And I do

        cvs co FOOBAR
        
This works as expected.  The files are excluded from their respective 
directories.  However, if I do:

        cvs co -d babar FOOBAR
        
I only get foo checked out (with a top-level name of babar).  I don't 
get bar checked out at all.  foo also contains the ignore-me1 
directory in this case.

I don't know what the solution is for the second case.  Using the -d 
option in this case can't make sense.  I recommend that an error 
message be displayed and the checkout should fail.

In the first case, CVS should be smart enough to determine that I have 
just renamed the directory from foo to foo1.  It would know to exclude 
the specified sub-directories from the (newly renamed) directory 
causing foo1/ignore-me1 and foo1/ignore-me2 directories to be ignored.
