cvs export fails with -d

[Alexander Taler]

Hi,

A cvs export over a cvsclient connection using -d to specify a
directory two deep (eg "foo/bar") fails with the error:

  cvs [export aborted]: could not change directory to requested
  checkout directory `bar': No such file or directory

However, the same export works with a local connection.  

I've tested this with Debian's 1.11.5, and my own build of 1.12.1.1.

Here's a script which illustrates the problem:

##############################
export TESTCVS_DIR=/tmp/test-cvs-ajksdlf

mkdir -p $TESTCVS_DIR/repo $TESTCVS_DIR/work

pushd $TESTCVS_DIR/work
mkdir dir1 dir2

cvs --version
cvs -d $TESTCVS_DIR/repo init
cvs -d $TESTCVS_DIR/repo       export -r HEAD -d dir1/local CVSROOT
cvs -d :fork:$TESTCVS_DIR/repo export -r HEAD -d fork       CVSROOT
cvs -d :fork:$TESTCVS_DIR/repo export -r HEAD -d dir2/fork  CVSROOT

popd

rm -rf $TESTCVS_DIR
##############################

Here are my results:
