Title: CVS 1.11 fails to create administrative files when using a remote repository

Apologies if this bug has already been reported, however I was not able to
find it anywhere.

I have two machines:

Machine 1 - Linux which has the repository and CVS version "1.11" (Using
pserver)
Machine 2 - Win 2000 CVS version "1.11.0.1 (client)"

When I try to checkout a module/directory on the Win2000 machine and the
directory already exists I get the following error:

cvs checkout: in directory alpha:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs server: Updating alpha
U alpha/world
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries.Log: No such file or directory

However this works fine when I do the same thing locally on the Linux box.

Steps to reproduce:

On Linux (Server)

cvs co .
mkdir alpha
cvs add alpha
echo hello > alpha/world
cvs add alpha/world
cvs commit alpha
rm -r alpha
mkdir alpha
cvs co alpha

*** Works Fine ***

On Win2000 (Client)

mkdir alpha
cvs co alpha

*** Errors ***

Additionally when I run the command:

cvs co .

On the Win2000 box with CVS version 1.11.0.1  I get the following error

cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository

This works fine with version 1.10.5
