cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse -Q update -C -d org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `tag=v20110113-1624')
cvs update: when using local access method.

it looks like part of a map file is being used by the cvs update.

I see this message even when using cvs manually from the command line:

e4Build@build:/shared/eclipse/e4/build/e4> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse update -d org.eclipse.e4.builder_HEAD
cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `tag=v20110113-1624')
cvs update: when using local access method.
cvs update: warning: skipping invalid entry in password file at line 1

There does exist a file ~/.cvspass which starts with tag=v20110113-1624 .

I deleted the contents of this file and the message is gone now.
