[cvsnt] Problem with release -d

Using "cvs release -d" does not appear to work correctly when using 
:local:. Omitting the -d option makes the command succeed.

Steps to reproduce, assuming that module "UnitA" is checked out in c:\temp:

C:\temp\UnitA>cvs version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 2025 
(client/server)
C:\temp\UnitA>cd ..
C:\temp>cvs -d :local:/mytest/repository.test release -d UnitA
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `UnitA': y
cvs.exe [release aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on 
/.directory_history,v: FAIL
Lock not within repository

C:\temp>cvs -d :local:/mytest/repository.test release UnitA
Are you sure you want to release directory `UnitA': y

[no errors]
