I can repeat it. I just tested it again. See below for explanation.

NT does allow it. I just did it. If I use cvs co -d apache ..., say, then shell>cd apache does not work. The error is The system cannot find the path specified. shell>cd ' apache' does not work, but shell>cd " apache" succeeds. I see now. It's because I'm running cvs from inside a Perl program using IPC::Run. So, I'll inform the author of IPC::Run.
