Bug 11523

NetBeans release 3.2 build #31 (RC2) on Windows 2000/NT4.0/95/98 with JDK 1.3

Description:
============
It is not possible to do check out of whole contents of remote repository into 
empty working directory using 1.11 version of CVS executable on all Windows pla-
tforms. The crucial conditions are:
* To have 1.11 version of CVS binary on Windows OS.
* To run 'cvs co .' command in completely empty directory.
* To connect to remote repository i.e. CVSROOT starts with :pserver: string.
I have already send the message to bug-cvs@gnu.org mailing list but received no
response so far. Have a look at the following link to see it:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg00976.html

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Create new directory e.g. c:\mySources and invoke CVS wizard.
2. Specify this directory as your working directory and push "Next >".
3. Select "Password Server" as connection method.
4. Specify cvs.netbeans.org as "Server Name", anoncvs as "User Name" and /cvs as
   "Repository" so that your CVSROOT is :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.netbeans.org:/cvs
5. In the next pane choose "CVS Command-Line Client Support" and point to your
   1.11 version of cvs.exe binary. Then push "Next >".
6. Don't type in any password and just push "Login" button and after you are
   logged in successfully push "Next >" again.
7. Check "Perform the initial checkout" checkbox and "Finish" the wizard.
8. "CVS Checkout -" dialog opens. Just press "OK" button.
9. After a while there will be an error message in the "Output of VCS Commands"
   dialog:

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

Workaround:
===========
Use previous version of CVS binary e.g. 1.10.8
