[1][site-support:#1887] Anonymous CVS behavior has changed since the
service was re-established

The anonymous cvs service behavior after it has been restored has changed
in a manner that has caused users of the Xastir project to be unable to
issue "cvs update" on existing checkouts.
The long-standing instructions from project developers to anon CVS users
has been that they should do their initial checkouts with:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir co
xastir
Users who have done so have begun to report that "cvs update" is spewing
errors now. An example (heavily trimmed) from a user report follows:
cvs update
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: .cvsignore is no longer in the repository
cvs update: ABOUT-NLS is no longer in the repository
cvs update: AUTHORS is no longer in the repository
cvs update: CC_OpenStreetMap_logo.png is no longer in the repository
cvs update: CC_OpenStreetMap_txt.png is no longer in the repository
cvs update: COPYING is no longer in the repository
[2][... one such message for every single file normally present in the
top level...]
cvs update: Updating CVSROOT
U CVSROOT/checkoutlist
U CVSROOT/commitinfo
U CVSROOT/config
U CVSROOT/cvswrappers
U CVSROOT/editinfo
U CVSROOT/loginfo
U CVSROOT/modules
U CVSROOT/notify
U CVSROOT/rcsinfo
U CVSROOT/taginfo
U CVSROOT/verifymsg
[3][This is new --- no normal checkout should have included CVSROOT]
cvs update: Updating CVSROOT/Emptydir
cvs update: Updating Davis
cvs update: cannot open directory /cvsroot/xastir/xastir/Davis: No such
file or directory
[4][one such error message for every subdirectory in the project]
When I checked into this, I discovered that a fresh checkout using our
standard instructions now gets not only the normal files in the project,
but the CVSROOT directory, too. Also, all files are an additional level
down in path name.
I found that issuing a modified cvs checkout:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir/xastir
co xastir
produced a checkout that matched prior behavior.
It appears that an extra level of "xastir" has been added to the
repository path somehow, and this has broken the ability to update
existing checkouts.
Could you please look into this and let us know if anonymous CVS can be
returned to its old behavior? We have given our users the workaround (to
blow away their existing checkouts and use the modified repository to get
a new one), but that will, of course, break their checkouts again if the
service is returned to old behavior.
