This usage of the -d option is redundant in most cases - you are telling CVS
"Override the $CVSROOT environment variable and use the $CVSROOT environment
variable instead" :=)

See https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.18/cvs_19.html#SEC183 for
details.

Back to your problem:

What exactly was the output (partial output is OK) of the cvs history
command? Is that the *exact* error message you received? If not, please
provide the precise error message.

RTFM:
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.18/cvs_16.html#SEC112 and
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.18/cvs_17.html#SEC157 would be
good places to start.

See above links.
