We've found that the trick to doing this correctly is to include a -d on
the ampersand modules, and include another level of indirection.
So your modules would look something like:
_src -d src src/src
_inc -d inc src/inc
_pages_src -d pages src/pages
_pages_inc -d inc/pages src/inc/pages
_tsd -d tsc src/tsc
project -d project &_src &_inc &_tsd &_pages_src
project_src -d project &_src
project_inc -d project &_inc
project_tsd -d project &_tsd
project_pages -d project &_pages_src &_pages_inc
Only modules without the _ at the start are publicly notified modules.
This will give a checked out structure of
project/src
project/inc
project/pages
project/inc/pages
BUT you must check out the project_pages AFTER you have checked out
something into inc, otherwise CVS will record a Repository of Emptydir for
inc and you will then not be able to check out files to inc!
