there seems to be a regression regarding the handling of local pathnames 
on Windows in the commandline client:

The backslash (the separator charactor on windows) isn't allowd in 
pathnames anymore in 2.0-beta1/CVS-HEAD.

I type:
[ Slide ] $ lcd ..\..

1.0.16 changes the local working directory correctly.

CVS-HEAD replies:
Error: line 1:7: unexpected char: '\'
[ Slide ] $ Error: invalid command: ..

Furthermore changing to another drive doesn't work (this happens all 
versions):
[ Slide ] $ lcd c:
lcd c:
Warning: Not found the path

It seems to me, that in Client.java:477 a path starting with "c:" isn't 
recognized as an absolute path, but treated as relative.
