cvs-1.11.1p1: cvs [export aborted]: cannot export into a working directory

[Seelbach, Wolfgang]

Hi!

With cvs 1.11.1p1 in "client-server-mode" (CVSROOT=:pserver:...) an 
"export" always fails:

# cvs export -D 2002-02-02 aModule
   ==> cvs [export aborted]: cannot export into a working directory

The source of this error message is checkout.c, function build_one_dir:
in "client-server-mode" the "current working dir" is a temporary directory
on the "cvs-server". This directory contains also subdirectories named
"CVS". We solved the problem with the changes which can be found in
the accompanying file cvs-1.11.1p1.checkout.c.cdiff.

 <<cvs-1.11.1p1.checkout.c.cdiff>> 
This should be regarded as a "hot fix". A closer review of function 
build_one_dir of checkout.c might be necessary or suggestive.
