Bug/Feature patch: stopping CVS from going into subpackages

Subject: Bug/Feature patch: stopping CVS from going into subpackages

One of the sometimes cool and sometimes incredibly annoying features
of CVS is that if you have a checked-out package, with other packages
checked out under the top level, the working copy of the top level CVS
will inherit the sub-packages.  Specifically, commands like `cvs
update` in the top level will recurse down into another package if it
is "below" in the directory tree.

This is sometimes what you want, but there are many circumstances in
which this is *not* what you want.  A few examples:

* You wish to apply the CVS command (update/tag/diff/etc) to only the
  top level package

* You have the following tree:

                            <metaproduct>
               /bin   <os-subset>   <bind>   <product>
                      /sys /lib     /[...]   /src /lib /etc

Specifically, there is a metaproduct package with one subdirectory
/bin.  Then there are two non-product-specific packages: os-subset
and bind.  os-subset is a module which takes a subset of the os
package.  Product is the main product package.

Currently, if you do `cvs checkout -d . metaproduct` in metaproduct
this will do the normal thing in metaproduct.  However, it will
recurse down into os-subset and start checking out parts of os which
are *not* in os-subset.  This is bad and probably a bug in and of its
own right, but my hack will allow people to work around it.

Specifically what it does is creates another global all-commands flag
"-R" which will modify how the directory list it build--instead of
from the CVS/Entries file, it is build from the repository list.
