Based on there being no messages in the mailing list archive for
cvs-dev, I'm guessing it is dead. This seems like the next best list
since it does concern a cvs bug.
The following occurs with both cvs 1.12.13 and the cvs trunk.
Suppose I have a repository with the following:
test-dir
dir-one
file-a
file-b
dir-two
file-c
If I check it out (using pserver), cd into dir-two, and do:
cvs status ../dir-one/file-a file-c
I'll get an error.
Turning on logging and looking at the .in file, I see:

Argument ../dir-one/file-a
Argument file-c
status
The line after the final (3rd) Directory is wrong.
If I replace it with test-dir/dir-two it works; if I delete both it and
the immediately preceding 'Directory .' line, it works.
These two lines are generated by a call to send_repository at the bottom
of the function send_files (in client.c).
To the extent that I understand toplevel_repos, it has the wrong value;
but, I'm guessing what it is supposed to be based on how it is used; the
comments don't really describe it, so my understanding is imperfect.
Additionally, I don't understand the purpose of the final call to
send_repository.
BTW, the send_repository line dates back to the import of cvs into the
current cvs repository on savannah in 1994.
Thanks.
