If the tag for the older release (you did tag the release, didn't you?) is only
on the files you need, cvs checkout -rreleasetag will only get those files (as
they were at the time of the release). I have used this method to get sets of
files from a general test script baseline, where I just need a subset of those
files for a formal test, i.e. I only tag the ones I know will be used during
the formal test, then do a
cvs checkout -rformal_test_tagN module
If you need the files as they currently are I suppose you could do some kind
of find in the checked out directory and pipe that to a cvs update -A <fnames>,
as someone earlier noted an update would probably get all the other files too.
