Description of problem:
In this new version of cvs, doing 'cvs rtag test .' always drops an
assertion fail.  The important part is the dot that I want to tag
(whole repo).

This used to work, and even it works with all other cvs commands I
tested.  But with rtag it says:

cvs: recurse.c:639: do_recursion: Assertion `strstr ( repository,
"/./" ) == ((void *)0)' failed.
cvs [rtag aborted]: received abort signal

Well, and if you check line 639 in recurse.c you see the assertion
added.  I don't know why having a "/./" is assumed dangerous.

It actually broke some of my scripts so I found it out.  And sorry
that I'm reporting here, as I couldn't find any way to report cvs bugs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.11.11

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cvs -d ~/xxx init
2. cvs -d ~/xxx rtag test .

    

Actual Results:  cvs: recurse.c:639: do_recursion: Assertion `strstr (
repository, "/./" ) == ((void *)0)' failed.
cvs [rtag aborted]: received abort signal


Expected Results:  no error

Additional info:

I don't know if simply removing the line is an option or not.
