Subject: "cvs co -r" doesn't work when Attic directory does not exist!

Hello,

I tried a  "cvs co -r mytag myproj" and receive the following:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/mypoj/Attic: Not a
directory

It is true -- since i have deleted nothing in myproj yet, i don't have Attic
in it. But why is it impossible to checkout a tag or revision if module
doesn't contain Attics?

After i manually mkdir _empty_ Attic in .../CVS/mypoj cvs was satisfied
and checked out mytag.
Is this a BUG? If yes, then is there a workaround?

My configuration:
cygwin1.dll: 1.3.6-6
CVSROOT: :local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/CVS

Thank you,
Alexei Lioubimov
