Perhaps somebody could address an issue that I have
had with &modules.
Say that I start out as above,
with moduleC being checked out into
moduleB/srcC.
Tag this OLD
But then I reorganize my directory structure,
so that I want moduleC to be checked
out into moduleB/libag/srcC
Tag this NEW
I can edit the modules file to achieve this
but if I do so, and I want to check out
the OLD revision, I lose.
I don't see any way to say "use this version
of the modules file when checking out"
This may just be yet another case of
"CVS can't handle renaming files and directories",
"CVS doesn't version control metadata"
"CVS's modules concept is broken"
