Re: cvs complains of no repository

["Shaffer, Kenneth" <shaffek at sciatl dot com>]

I looked further into this and think the problem is due to the fact
that the 1.10 version I was using was strictly Windows-based and so
whenever a CVS/Root file was created it had the <CR><LF> for the end of
line. Then when I used the cygwin version I had trouble.

The following patch fixed the problem I was having (feel free to make it
better):

diff -w -urN cvs-1.11.6-3-orig/src/root.c cvs-1.11.6-3-plus/src/root.c
