Is there a way in CVS where I can overlay one module on top of
another module? In the current SCM environment that I am working
under, there are 8 different environment scenarious that need to be
applied to a baseline. Currently, each one of the environment
scenarios is setup as a module, in addition to having a baseline
module for the application. 1. The baseline module is checked out
to a work area. 2. Each one of the environment modules are checked
out to a work area. 3. Each one of the enviroment modules is
tarred. 4. One by one, these environment tar files are untarred
over the baseline module which is also tarred. (8 times). This is a
lot of effort. I have worked with other Version Control Systems that
will allow a user to checkout a "Project" into a work area based upon
a "Tag/Label/Symbolic", and then repeat the process by checking out
the same project by at different "Tag". When the first checkout had
~1,000 files, and the second "Tag" had only 30 files that dealt with
configuration settings, only those configuration settings were
changed from the initial checkout. I have used the "Open Source
Development with CVS by Karl Fogel" as a reference, but I still can't
find my answer. I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
Thank you, Brian Colburn
