Thank you for the bug report. It appears that the change first appeared
in recurse revision 1.79 and was backported to cvs 1.11.x as well.

Here is the ChangeLog entry:

2003-04-02  Derek Price  <derek@ximbiot.com>

        * recurse.c (do_recursion): Use strstr("/./") rather than strchr('.')
        to catch only indirections in paths and not directory names with dots
        in them.
        (Report from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>.)

        * sanity.sh (multiroot): Put a dot in the CVSROOT_DIRNAMEs.
        (dottedroot): New test.
        (Based on a script from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>.)

A copy of Pavel's original report is after my .signature. Derek Price is
the one who created the fix and may know if it should be handled in some
other manner to avoid triggering security checks.

        Thanks!

Subject: CVS CVS: Assertion failed on checkout

Hello!

Today's CVS crashes on checkout if CVSROOT has "." in its name:

cvs: recurse.c:652: do_recursion: Assertion `(__extension__
(__builtin_constant_p ('.') && ('.') == '\0' ? (char *) __rawmemchr
(repository, '.') : strchr (repository, '.'))) == ((void *)0)' failed.

Test case is attached.  Run it in an empty directory with any name.
