CVS Stable - checkout alias module exclusion failure with -d option

[Conrad T. Pino]

Hi All,

I'm seeking a quick answer from whatever you might know at
the moment.  If in depth research is needed I plan to follow
through with it.

Using a version 1.11.20 client with a 1.11.17 server I see
an alias module directory exclusion fail when check out is
used with -d option.

The CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.ociweb.com:/cvs
and the "cvs login" password is empty.

The module definitions are:

        ACE_wrappers      ACE_wrappers-repository
        ACE -a            !ACE_wrappers-repository/TAO ACE_wrappers-repository

CAUTION the "ACE_wrappers" working directory is BIG i.e.
99.8 MB 22,352 files 3,745 directories.

The command: cvs -z9 co ACE_wrappers
creates directory "ACE_wrappers" and "ACE_wrappers/TAO"
which is the expected result.

The command: cvs -z9 co ACE
creates directory "ACE_wrappers-repository" but NO "ACE_wrappers-repository/TAO"
which is the expected result.

The command: cvs -z9 co -d ACE ACE
creates directory "ACE" and "ACE/TAO"
where "ACE/TAO" is an unexpected result.

Is this a previously known or previously fixed bug?

Thanks in advance,

Conrad Pino
