cvs update: cvs server: ignoring . (CVS/Repository missing)

[Heiko Rupp]

Hi,

I am using


Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

on client and server. Both talk over ssh. Platform is
RH7.0 with the rpm from cvshome

Cvs {import,co,add,commit} work as expected, only
cvs update behaves strangely:

address@hidden /tmp]$ ls test
ls: test: No such file or directory
address@hidden /tmp]$ cvs co test
cvs server: Updating test
cvs server: Updating test/heikor
cvs server: Updating test/heikor/tmp
U test/heikor/tmp/bar.c
U test/heikor/tmp/foo.c
address@hidden /tmp]$ cd test
address@hidden test]$ cvs update -PdA
cvs server: ignoring . (CVS/Repository missing)
address@hidden tmp2]$ ls -ls CVS
total 12
   4 -rw-r--r--    1 heikor   users          83 Jun 27 18:09 Entries
   4 -rw-r--r--    1 heikor   users          17 Jun 27 18:09 Repository
   4 -rw-r--r--    1 heikor   users          26 Jun 27 18:09 Root


Locally on the machine, where the repository is, cvs update works
as known.

Any hints here?
