I have a few big data files (>100 MB) that I would want to keep on
the cvs server. But then every developer will have to checkout that
file when they do a root level checkout. Since most of the developers
will not need this file, I wanted a way to mask these files, as VSS
does support the masking feature. Tagging and removing seems like a
workable hack, though not really clean.
Another option is to keep them in a separate module. Then if
someone wants them, they can check out the base module + the data
module. You could even set up an alias in the CVSROOT/modules
file. E.g. myModule_and_data. Then developers would
normally just check out myModule but could use myModule_and_data when
they want both.

No. Just don't check them in, in the first place ;=)
Well, strictly speaking that's not true. You could tag the files and
then 'cvs rm' them. Any time you do want to get them, you'll have to get
them by tag.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe there's another way to
get what you want.
