2.2 -current, cvs 1.8.1, remote cvs.

>Description:

The server sends down a command which causes cvs/src/client.c to attempt
to open up CVS/Template, however there is no CVS subdirectory when doing
an export operation.

By the way, a quick perusal of CVS source code leads me to believe that
this is still broken in 1.9.

>How-To-Repeat:

pst@red$ cvs -d cvs:/cvs/juniper export -D today -d fep2 -kv fep
cvs [export aborted]: cannot write <CVS/Template file>: No such file or directory
pst@red$ rm -rf fep2
pst@red$ cvs -d /volume/cvs-juniper export -D today -d fep2 -kv fep
cvs export: Updating fep2
U fep2/.cvsignore
U fep2/Makefile
...

>Fix:

The bug's really in the server, it shouldn't be sending down a template
command on export, however the logic is rather convoluted once we get
to create_admin() (which shouldn't be called, should it?)
