Bugzilla Bug 117526

Reproducibility: Whenever emerge is called with ECVS_SERVER="offline" emerge
foo

Due to the popularity of anon:cvs@sourceforge.net i have gotten into the habit
of doing manual checkouts of specific cvs trees prior to emerging with the
offline feature of the cvs.eclass with portage-2.1_pre3-r1 when you try to run
ECVS_SERVER="offline" emerge foo portage throws the following error message
block
!!! ERROR: foo/bar failed.
!!! Function cvs_src_unpack, Line 550, Exitcode 0
!!! ERROR: Offline mode specified, but directory
/var/tmp/portage/bar/distdir/cvs-src/foo/libs/bar not found. Aborting.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. 

When emerge foo is run any user modified files in $PORTDIR/$DISTDIR/cvs-src/foo
are ignored with the sources being piped directly into /var/tmp/portage/ and
then deleted after the compilation is completed.  This could lead to massive
headaches for dial up users.
