Issue: CVSNT Eclipse: Sharing a project that does not exist in Repository
Windows 2000 Pro
CVS NT Various Builds (listed below)
Eclipse 2.1 RC2, RC3

CVS Server running ntserver with domain authentication. Used
(cvs passwd -a -r <real accountname> -D <domain name> <cvs account name>) to
add users. We then connect via Eclipse pserver protocol.

We are running a CVSNT server and wanted to upgrade to the newest release.
So before updating the live CVS server we did some testing. We found that
the last build where we could do a "Share Project" from Eclipse to CVSNT was
1.11.1.3-66.  In all subsequent builds, when trying to share a project that
does not exist, Eclipse returns the following message:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs update" command.
  Test: cvs server: cannot open directory d:/cvs/freddie/Test:
No such file or directory
  Test: cvs server: cannot find module `Test' - ignored

When we create the folder manually on the server and then try to share the
project, it works fine. (Builds tested after 66)

In all builds up to and including 1.11.1.3-66, the "Share Project" works
fine and automatically creates all necessary folders on the server if they
don't exist.

We tested:
cvsnt 1.11.1.3-66 - works
cvsnt 1.11.1.3-68 - don't work
cvsnt 1.11.1.3-70 - don't work
cvsnt 2.0.0rc1 - don't work

We logged a bug with Eclipse (But they may point the finger at CVSNT)
