But beware that modules are a hack that flies in the face of sane version control. The rearrangements of the modules file are not part of your project's version history; rearranging the structure via the modules file affects previously tagged configurations of a source tree. Newly added modules are not picked up by running cvs up -d in existing sandboxes; modules are processed at checkout time only. When you use modules, the pathnames in rdiff are incorrect; they are the physical repository path names, ignoring the module structure. This means that rdiff does not generate correct patches over source trees assembled using modules. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
