testcase

This calls `cvs rtag' on CVSROOT with `/./' to trigger the assertion. This testcase touches current directory.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2011-12-20 15:53:24 UTC 
RHEL-6 (cvs-1.11.23) not affected.

Fix

This is patch used in RHEL-4. It applies to RHEL-5 cvs cleanly and fixes this issue. It's in line with upstream development tree.
