$CVSROOT
) to a
directory of source in the source repository. In this
case, on checkout, a single directory called
mname is created as a working directory; no
intermediate directory levels are used by default, even
if dir was a path involving several directory
levels.
For example, if a module is defined by:
regmodule first-dir
then regmodule will contain the files from first-dir:
$ cvs co regmodule cvs checkout: Updating regmodule U regmodule/file1 U regmodule/file2 cvs checkout: Updating regmodule/sdir U regmodule/sdir/sfile $
By explicitly specifying files in the module definition after dir, you can select particular files from directory dir. Here is an example:
regfiles first-dir/sdir sfile
With this definition, getting the regfiles module will create a single working directory regfiles containing the file listed, which comes from a directory deeper in the cvs source repository:
$ cvs co regfiles U regfiles/sfile $
