Re: CVS and updating modules

Hi,

and what about simple checkout of the alias everytime you need an
update. It should just update existing files and also create new ones
defined in alias. This solution assumes, that you *never* shrink the
alias. The alias must stay as it is or can grow, but never shrink. It's
needed for cross-branch and backward compatibility of the alias.
