There was no previous expectation or documentation that CVS would work
with a symlinked root.  Cool as it might be that feature does work with
one now, I am against including the backport on 1.11.x for this reason.

If you guys can raise enough relative clamor and few objections here and
on info-cvs, I will consider changing my vote.
