QUESTION: Is there a way to check out just one file from the tree below an ampersand module specifying the complete path?
TOOLS: ######## I am using a Win2k machine with CVSNT with: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.2 Beta 3 (Build 33) (client/server) and NT clients with: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.8 (client/server) MORE DETAIL: ############ I have a line in my modules file that looks like: whole_thing &part_one &part_two We usually check out the whole thing with: cvs co -P -d whole_thing which produces whole_thing whole_thing/CVS whole_thing/part_one whole_thing/part_one/CVS whole_thing/part_one/the_rest_of_the_part_one_files_and_subdirectories whole_thing/part_two whole_thing/part_two/CVS whole_thing/part_two/the_rest_of_the_part_two_files_and_subdirectories This is what I expect. since the whole project is about 5,000 files, I don't want to check it all out when I don't have to. In certain instances, I want to check out a file under part_one first, and then check out the whole_thing. e.g.: cvs co whole_thing/part_one/subdir/my_file look at the file for a while with a script, and then: cvs update -C -P -d whole_thing to get the rest of the files in the project. The problem is that when I execute cvs co whole_thing/part_one/subdir/myfile get the following error message: cvs server: modules file missing directory for module whole_thing/part_one/subdir/myfile cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules trying to check out whole_thing/part_one/subdir also fails If I first make a whole_thing directory, enter it, then check out part_one/subdir/myfile I get the desired file, but I do not get whole_thing/CVS, so when I execute the cvs update -C -P -d whole_thing later on I get: cvs server: nothing known about whole_thing The problem occurs when executing the commands either from a client PC or in a cygwin bash on the server.
