2012-01-10 02:15 AEST by Glen Starrett - I've just noticed that if I run a CVS command in a non-cvs directory, it'll
still scan the subdirectories looking for a sandbox.  However, if it FINDS a
sandbox, it still doesn't work properly for all commands (which had me wasting
time tracking down traces when the problem was a BCK problem... Between Chair
and Keyboard).

Using the sandbox dir's name in the command from the non-sandbox directory DOES
work, but if you don't specify the name then it still tries... poorly (commit
doesn't work properly with a renamed file, but update will update missing files,
for example).

Note:  I was testing some rename scenarios when I noticed this.  I don't know if
the commit having a rename was part of this or not, but the instruction in the
eBook specifically shows "cd .." then "cvs commit" in the example, so that's why
this was noted.
