"move away" again...

Hello,

I just good some behaviour which seems very weird to me. For of all,
look at this output:

address@hidden:~/cbm/vice$ cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.9 (client/server)
address@hidden:~/cbm/vice$ cat CVS/Root
:ext:cvs:/var/lib/cvs
address@hidden:~/cbm/vice$ cvs -d :ext:cvs:/var/lib/cvs/ up
address@hidden:~/cbm/vice$ cvs up
cvs update: move away `build/Makefile.am'; it is in the way
C build/Makefile.am
cvs update: move away `build/Makefile.in'; it is in the way
C build/Makefile.in
cvs update: move away `build/mingw32/linux-cross.sh'; it is in the way
[... snipp ...]

What you can see: Depending upon if I use "cvs up" or if I specifiy the
repository with -d "by hand", cvs up behaves differently: Directly,
without specifying the patch, I got the "move away" message; but with
specifying the path, I do not get it.

Interestingly, the path stored in CVS/Root is exactly the same as the
one I am specifying on the command-line; this is something which I do
not understand.

Oh, I stand corrected. After having written this and I tested something
more, I found the reason: CVS/Root was written without a last slash
(/var/lib/cvs, not /var/lib/cvs/). Editing the file by hand fixed the
problem.

Now, the important questions for me:

1. should it work without the trailing slash, or shouldn't it?

2. if it should not work, why did cvs wrote that wrong CVS/Root in the
   first place?

Best regards,
   Spiro.

PS: Waiting for all of the "I'm out of town" replies... :(((
