make world with the latest cvs update.  This bug has been there before.

>Description:

cvs mangles directory names when you (1) specify more than one
directory, and (2) the first one has more than one path.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
	
Not known.

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
>> cd /usr/ports/editors
   (edit emacs/Makefile and jed/Makefile)
>> cvs diff -u emacs jed 2>/dev/null | grep Index
Index: emacs/patches/patch-aa
Index: jed/Makefile
   (correct)
>> cd ..
>> cvs diff -u editors/emacs editors/jed 2>/dev/null | grep Index
Index: editors/emacs/patches/patch-aa
Index: editors/editors/jed/Makefile
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can see similar symptoms if you do "cd /usr/ports; cvs update
editors/emacs editors/jed" or "cvs commit editors/emacs editors/jed").
However, "cvs diff" is the only one that is truly annoying because
it confuses the hell out of "patch".
