That *should* work.

Hmm... that's interesting to know (I'm considering changing the way the
search is done, which would naturally tend to give precedence to backends
whose admin dir is closest, so CVS would then tend to unavoidably take
precedence since it's always as close as any other).

I think they're not equivalent.  But I couldn't tell you offhand how it
would change things.
