Hi, With cvs 1.12.13 I get an assertion failure, like this:
$ cd /tmp $ mkdir repo $ cvs -d /tmp/repo init $ mkdir contents $ cd contents/ $ echo hi > foo $ cvs -d /tmp/repo import -m "Import" contents release v1_0 $ cd .. $ mkdir checkout $ cd checkout $ cvs -d /tmp/repo checkout contents $ cd contents $ cvs admin -ko CVS/Root cvs admin: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs admin: nothing known about Root cvs: parseinfo.c:44: Parse_Info: Assertion `repository' failed. cvs [admin aborted]: received abort signal Since this assertion can be triggered through idiotic use of 'cvs', IMO it should be a normal fatal error message (for example, "cvs operation attempted on a CVS infrastructure file"), rather than an abort.
