problem with update -d module/dir1/dir2/file1

[Steve_Shriver]

Hi, 

Spent a day or two searching thru google for answers to this problem. 
Thought I'd check with you guys too. 

$> cd /dir/local/repo
$> cvs update -d module/d1/d2/file1 

[release@lxdevweb2]$ cvs update -d catalog/jpg/010/thumb_010999.jpg
cvs [update aborted]: no such directory `catalog/jpg/010' 

[release@lxdevweb2]$ ls -aCF catalog/jpg
./  ../  000/  020/  CVS/


[release@lxdevweb2 vwr]$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.22 (client/server)


Seems to be related to the "trailing slash" bug that prevents "cvs update 
-d m1/d1/d2/" but works with "cvs update -d m1/d1/d2".  So do I need to 
test the path exists prior to update? Or put something in the CVS/Entries 
file? 

I'm trying to avoid a full checkout just to get a few files in a 
particular module's path. What are my options? 

Thanks,
Steve
