: The CVS/Repository file has been relative to CVS/Root for a very long
: time.  Stuff I checked out years ago has the relative path there.

I wrote a script to fix this in like 2004 or so...  And I still find
tree that I checked out before then that I haven't run my script
on...  It has been a very long time since this change happened..
Certainly not this last import.
