Please Help

Strangely, the second checkout (see below) will fail with cvs.exe that ships
with WinCVS 1.2 and WinCVS 1.3b4.  However, it works on Linux with cvs
1.10.5 and cvs 1.11.  Is this a bug?  Why does it work on Linux and fail on
Windows?

Given this repository structure:

  test/file1.txt
  test/dir1/file2.txt

  tag both files with "test_tag"

  cvs co test test/dir1             // this works
  cvs co -rtest_tag test test/dir1  // this fails -- WHY?

The error is:

  cvs checkout: move away test/dir1/file2.txt; it is in the way


Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
