Hi,

I need your comments on the following issue:

CVS% cd /usr/local/CVS
CVS% cvs -d /usr/local/CVS checkout -p source/abc.c
cvs [checkout aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository
itself

True I am doing a checkout in the CVS repository BUT with option
"-p", the output goes to STDOUT. Since there's no file created in
the repository, is there any good reason not to allow the checkout
using "-p"?

If not, here's my "simple diff" :

File: checkout.c - Line: 251

-    if (!cat && !safe_location()) {
+    if (!cat && !pipeout && !safe_location()) {

Thank you,
Pierre B.
