Wow. A whole new world opens. http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#The%20modules%20File https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC159 Powerful. But this means my intuitive (simplistic) view of a cvs module as a simple tree of directories under one name (where modulename == directory name) is completely destroyed. (Un)fortunately I don't believe most public CVS repositories (like the savannah system) let you arbitrarily change the files in the CVSROOT. The savannah-hackers are pretty flexible though. So if someone thinks we can/must/want to take advantage of any of this module system then we can certainly ask. Cheers, Mark
