Hello,

    I have a CVS'ed project which contains several subdirectories under
the main project directory.  The problem is, I would like to create a
branch for only certain subdirectories (to test out an new
implementation of my design).  Is this possible?  Also, if later on
someone does a "cvs checkout -r <branch-name> <project>", would their
working copy contain only the subdirectories which were branched?  In
order to get the latest revision of the main trunk as well as the latest
revision of the branched subdirectories, would they have to do the
following?

cvs co <project name>
cvs update -r <branch name> <subdirectory>

 
What is the reason you want to branch only a certain directory?  I can come up with some likely reasons but each have their own problems (if it is even possible).
