recurse.c:642: failed assertion `strstr (repository, "/./") == NULL'

[Rohan Lloyd]

I tried to run 'cvs rdiff' with the following command:

  cvs -d /path/to/repository rdiff -s -r V1_0 -r HEAD .

and got the error:

  recurse.c:642: failed assertion `strstr (repository, "/./") == NULL'
  cvs [rdiff aborted]: received abort signal

If I specify a subdirectory such as:

  cvs -d /path/to/repository rdiff -s -r V1_0 -r HEAD src

it works OK.

After a quick search I couldn't see any mention of this on bug-cvs, but 
I did found one post in info-cvs where someone had the same problem 
when specifying paths containing '/./':

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-06/msg00178.html

As a workaround I have added '.' to the CVSROOT/modules file, but it 
would be nice to get this fixed up properly.

This is with cvs version 1.11.17
