annotate admin/notes/trailing-whitespace @ 53947:8f3f4ab62a69

Work correctly if CVSROOT specifies :fork: or :local: methods, or omits the colon between the hostname and the path. Allow :/ in repository path, since CVS does. Fix typo: "pository" should be set from $CVSROOT, not $repository. This fixes a bug reported by Wolfgang Scherer in <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2004-02/msg00085.html>, along with some related bugs I discovered by inspecting how CVS itself parses $CVSROOT.
