When opening a CVS filesystem in the Filesystems view and answering "Yes" to
the question "Download contents of CVS recursively?", I receive the following
exception:

This occurs under both FFJ 2.0 1099j and every build of Netbeans I've tried
since 28.  Having finally looked at the code, the error is evident, and I
attach a patch here.

This fix was tested on the cvs version of netbeans, and didn't catch the
machine on fire.
