 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
