Markus,
Thank you for taking the time to submit a patch to CVSNT.
Technical discussions about the source code of CVSNT belong on the dev

Numeric directory tags are unsupported:
D:\march-hare\wm11>cvs up -P -r 1.1
cvs [server aborted]: Numeric directory tags are not allowed.
The code to handle this has been in update.cpp since 2005, CVSNT 2.5.02
build 2042:
1.44.2.53 (tmh 03-May-04): /* Called before the directory is
opened. We reset the sticky directory version here. */
1.44.2.53 (tmh 03-May-04): static int update_predirent_proc
(void *callerdat, char *dir, char *repository, char *update_dir, List
*entries, const char *virtual_repository, Dtype hint)
1.44.2.53 (tmh 03-May-04): {
1.44.2.93 (tmh 23-Nov-04): const char *olddir_vers;
1.44.2.56 (tmh 01-Jun-04): List *ent;
1.44.2.87 (tmh 19-Oct-04):
1.44.2.123 (tmh 27-Jul-05): if(tag && isdigit((unsigned
char)*tag))
1.44.2.123 (tmh 27-Jul-05): error(1,0,"Numeric
directory tags are not allowed.");
1.44.2.123 (tmh 27-Jul-05):
You can update any file to a numeric version, but not the entire
directory, eg:
D:\march-hare\wm11>cvs up -r 1.1 blah.txt
