when i upgraded to 1.12.10 / 1.12.11 / 1.12.12 from version 1.12.9, my cvs trees
started spitting a bunch of conflict errors whenever i tried to update using the
'-d' option

after tracking it back, it's due to a trailing '/' in the CVS/Root file

$ rm -f ~/.cvsrc
$ cvs up -d
$ cat CVS/Root 
[email protected]:/var/cvsroot
$ echo / >> CVS/Root 
$ cat CVS/Root 
[email protected]:/var/cvsroot/
$ cvs up -d
cvs update: move away `2.4/packages'; it is in the way
C 2.4/packages
cvs update: move away `2.4/parent'; it is in the way
C 2.4/parent
