Constructing trees from several repositories |

I was trying to construct a build tree from modules checked out from 4
different repositories. I checked out the first to lay down the base, then
went into various subdirectories and did "cvs -d $repos2 co repos2_src" and
created my tree. What was cool was that I was able to go to the top of the
tree and do "cvs update" and it would do updates from each respective tree!
Very nice!
I was a bit disappointed when I ran the initial checkout again like I did
when I first created the tree. It worked fine until it would enter a
directory from a different repository, say repos2, and would complain that
the module I was checking out didn't exist in repos2 (which was true).
Why couldn't CVS ignore directories from repositories different from the one
at the top-level being checked out? [Did that come out right? ;) ]
Essentially, I'm trying to create a tree from repositories belonging to 3
different companies. Each company owns different subdirectories (I know, I
know, not the best layout). I could check everything out and write a script
to move things around, but I still get errors when working on my local copies
of code I'm allowed to update.
Thank you for your time...
