Nice idea. But no, 'autopoint' should not require superuser privileges to run.

No one is trying to overwrite an existing repository. The problem is that the
'cvs init' command is looking at ../../../../../../.., a location far away
from the current directory in the file system, and giving it more importance
than the command line parameters.

Not "sufficient demand" so far? I have already pointed to 4 users who had the
problem.
