Timur,

FWIW, this will work as long as the top-level directory name is always 
different than the repository directory name; ie, '1639' instead of 
'repository'. If you every use it in a hierarchy where you didn't use 
the 'cvs checkout -d new_name ...' option it will return the parent 
directory name; in your case 'tabi'.
