>Description:
When having a directory tree like the following:

testtest/a
testtest/b
testtest/c
testtest/x
testtest/y
testtest/z
testtest/sub1
testtest/sub1/file
testtest/sub1/sub11
testtest/sub1/sub11/file
testtest/sub2
testtest/sub2/file
testtest/sub2/sub12
testtest/sub2/sub12/file

where a-z and file are checked files. When I try to do a

cvs ci -f -r <n> -R -m temp

the check in fails with an error saying

        cvs commit: in directory sub1/sub11:
        cvs [commit aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first

when CVSROOT (or the -d switch) when checking out was pointing to a
local filesystem subdirectory. When doing the same thing via :pserver:
on exactly the same CVS server/host, everything is fine. When starting
cvs ci w/o the -m switch, the files listed in log template in the
started editor are just a-z, not any of "file" in the case of the
local CVS root, but all files when using :pserver:

>How-To-Repeat:

using a recursive commit on a local filesystem

>Fix:

using pserver = localhost
