Ampermods / Branches

[Dan Milstein]

I have an existing project, with a module:

ans-site ans/site

We now have a need to share some code between two different projects.  I 
created a new module:

ui-gen ans/ui-gen

And modified the other module definition to include it via an ampermod:

ans-site ans/site &ui-gen

Now I have a problem, though.  If I check out the HEAD default branch of 
ans-site, I *do* get the ui-gen subdirectory where it should be.  If, 
however, I check out a branch which already existed when I modified the 
CVSROOT/modules file, it doesn't pick up the ui-gen directory.  Is this a 
bug?  Is it the desired behavior?  Note that the cvs checkout output 
mentions descending into the ui-gen module -- it just doesn't actually pick 
up any of the files there.

Note: we do most of our development on branches -- and we almost never use 
the default HEAD branch, but instead have our own "Release" branch which we 
fork off and merge back into.

How can I get an existing branch (like 'Release'), to know about the new 
ampermod?

Thanks,
