I agree that his suggested syntax is cumbersome. But look behind
that, and what he really needs is simply that CVS follow standard
UNIX file-naming semantics: given that /a/b/sandbox is in fact a
CVS sandbox, why should CVS care which of these is used to name a
file c/d within it?
cd /a/b/sandbox/c; cvs XXX d
cd /a/b/sandbox; cvs XXX c/d
cvs XXX /a/b/sandbox/c/d
As with other UNIX commands, these three sequences should behave
identically.
One likely response is, "nobody's written the code; if you want
to, feel free." Fair enough. But that's a very different answer
from "CVS *should not* do this".
