Subject:	CVS and cygwin1.dll v1.3.4-4: Can not set CVSROOT to :local: repository now ?! ...

Hello,
since i have upgraded to the "new" version of cygwin1.dll (which doesn't
support `//c/...' notation any more) i have problem with CVS:
i can not keep my local repository in it's common location
`c:\usr\local\CVS'. Before that the line `export
CVSROOT=:local://c/usr/local/cvs'
in my .bash_profile worked fine. But now i get the error messages from the
CVS program:

$ export CVSROOT=:local://c/usr/local/cvs
$ cvs co some_module
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT //c/usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT: No such host or
network path

or

$export CVSROOT=':local:c:\usr/local/cvs'
cvs co some_module
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT c:\usr/local/cvs must be an absolute
pathname

or

$export CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs
cvs co some_module
' is missing '='ntax error in /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs/config: line '

For some reasons i don't want to move the repository under cygwin's root
(for example to c:\cygwin\usr\local\cvs).
Can anybody suggest the workaround?

Thank you
Alexei Lioubimov,
senior scientist
