Every time I attempt to import a directory containing 
sources I receive the following error:

cvs [import aborted]: tag `-m' must start with a letter

Steps taken to produce error:
1. I right-click on a folder mounted under a CVS filesystem 
and choose CVS->Import.
2. I fill in the information under the CVS window that pops 
up and click OK.

The command line it is trying to execute is:

cmd /X /C "cd /D \"C:\development\\\.\"&&   cd /D 
\"guestbook\"&& \"C:\cygwin\bin\cvs.exe\" -d 
\":ext:user1@home.com:/home/cvsroot\" -f -z 6 import   -I 
lib target xdocs  -m \"Initial import of guestbook\" 
\"guest\" home guest-0_0_0  "

The problem seems to be it does not automatically quote the 
ignore ("-I") portion.

There are at least two workarounds that work for me:
1.  Within the cvs popup window, for the ignore field I 
quote the entire line myself.  For example:
 File to Ignore:  \"blah1 blah2 blah3\"
2.  I add the extra ignore switches:
 File to Ignore:  blah1 -I blah2 -I blah3

I have found it necessary to use the backslash+quote (\") 
method when utilizing wildcards.  For example:
 File to Ignore:  \"blah1 blah2 blah3 .blah*\"

Otherwise, it will produce the same error about the "-m" 
switch initially noted.

BTW, the IDE runs on Windows2000, but the cvs repository is 
located on a Red Hat Linux system.

Thanks.
