Okay, I upgraded my box with the older cvs to the latest version and that
doesn't give the problem. I installed cvs on another "cleanish" box and
that also doesn't give the problem. So something is messed up on my dev
box.
On that box all I do to recreate is:
- create a directory
- dump a text file in it
- do the cvs import in that directory
- goto another directory (like /tmp)
- do a cvs export -D today repository (or any other variation of the
export with a -d /somedir -N or -r HEAD or -r othertag -f)
- see the error message: cvs [export aborted]: cannot export into
working directory
The problem seems local to the box so sorry for the bug report. I'm off to
hunt a needle in a haystack...
Thanks for taking the trouble to look into it.

I don't seem to be able to recreate this problem. Can you give me an
exact sequence of steps (starting with creating a new repository) to
cause it?
