C.1.1 Alias modules
-------------------
Alias modules are the simplest kind of module:
`MNAME -a ALIASES...'
This represents the simplest way of defining a module MNAME. The
`-a' flags the definition as a simple alias: CVS will treat any
use of MNAME (as a command argument) as if the list of names
ALIASES had been specified instead. ALIASES may contain either
other module names or paths. When you use paths in aliases,
`checkout' creates all intermediate directories in the working
directory, just as if the path had been specified explicitly in
the CVS arguments.
For example, if the modules file contains:
amodule -a first-dir
then the following two commands are equivalent:
$ cvs co amodule
$ cvs co first-dir
and they each would provide output such as:
cvs checkout: Updating first-dir
U first-dir/file1
U first-dir/file2
cvs checkout: Updating first-dir/sdir
U first-dir/sdir/sfile
