CVS w/ Drush - checkout to a directory other than "drupal" [#584884]

I'm using Drush w/ CVS (noob at Drush & CVS). I've modified my drushrc.php file's core base directory to /home/example/example.com/html (html is my document root). I've also modified the package-handler option to use 'cvs'.

I've been using Drush by navigating to the html folder described above and doing a 'drush dl'. Problem: it creates the folder 'drupal' below html when what I want is the contents of the drupal directory to be placed in html directory...

Like this: /home/example/example.com/html/{all the Drupal files and directories}

Instead of this: /home/example/example.com/html/drupal/{all the Drupal files and directories}

I could symlink it, but before I do I just wanted to check that I wasn't missing something...

Thanks, mitz

BTW, what exactly does the Drupal core base directory option do? If I specify no command line options (e.g. "drush dl"), the CVS gets checked out into the working directory (pwd), not the specified Drupal core base directory. BTW, my drushrc.php file is located in the drush directory. If it wasn't for the fact that drush knows to use CVS, I would say that the rc file is not being found by drush.
