There is actually a "good old text file" in CVSROOT: modules. You can
specify aliases for modules there and also group several modules
together. It needs careful checking though - it's easy to mess things up
this way.
If the modules file is set up correctly, you can even run
cvs -c
to get a list of available modules. This is very useful IMO.
Ah, I see, it actually works for GNOME cvs:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome co -c
There's no gimp-gap nor gimp-perl though.
Bye, Tino.
