[Cvsnt] Can't get repository prefix to work- found workaround

[Bill Jones]

No, I'm accessing in server mode.

Turns out it doesn't like D:/ as a prefix. I changed it to
D:/cvsrepositories and it worked fine. I think the problem is the // caused
by concatenating the D:/ and the /flash, yielding D://flash. Perhaps a dot
after the d:/ would help, but that's not an editable field.

Thanks,

Bill
