CVS Bug: status information misses when not using :ext:

[Jarl Friis]

Hi.

I use a CVS root that is on mmy local machine, but cvs status does not
give all the information as if I was sing the CVS root over a
:ext:address@hidden connection.

For files that exists in the working dir but does not belong to
repository yet, using :ext: method I get:
? noncvsfile.txt
cvs server: Examining .
===================================================================
File: ChangeLog         Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.1.1.1
   Repository revision: 1.1.1.1
/home/jarl/work/cvsroot/mobil-linux/ChangeLog,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

Whereas a direct access to cvs root locallyonly gives:
cvs status: Examining .

This is very annoying since a the front-end pcl-cvs (XEmacs) in that
case does not list the files that are not in te CVS repository.

I wish that non repository files in local access method would also be
listed with "? " prefix.
