[Buildbot-devel] Re: CVS checkout anomoly

[Fawad Halim]

Digging further into this, it seems that in slavecommand.py, the start2 
function is supposed to determine whether the directory already exists, 
and whether to do a checkout or update. The line

 if os.path.isdir(self.cvsdir):

is supposed to determine if the working directory exists, but always 
returns false whether the dir exists or not.
