Andy,

Not true.  if there is a subdirectory that contains files from a different
repository than its parent and a recursive cvs command is executed from
the parent, the client will not switch repositories during the command
execution.  I havent tried this, but I would guess that the best you could
hope for is that files in the other repository directory would cause the
server to abort an update with an error.  I could see how such files would
simply be added to the poarent's repository though.
