cvs diff, server and ".." in filename

[Boris Wirtz]

Hi,

I have a problem with cvs diff, server and (presumably) ".." in filenames :

I have a repository on a server, acess method :ext: and CVS_RSH=ssh.
Repository (on a solaris 8 sparc) and sandbox (on a solaris 10 sparc)
contain files

    a.c
    foo/b.c
    foo/bar/c.c

The pwd is foo.

Then

    cvs diff b.c ../a.c

gives the expected results, while

    cvs diff ../a.c b.c

gives the error message

    cvs diff: cannot find revision control file for b.c

It makes no difference whether b.c really differs.
Probably any other preceding filename containing ".." causes the same
problem (eg. ../foo/b.c, and bar/../b.c).



Thanx, Boris
