C.1 The modules file
The `modules' file records your definitions of
names for collections of source code. CVS will
use these definitions if you use CVS to update the
modules file (use normal commands like add,
commit, etc).
The `modules' file may contain blank lines and
comments (lines beginning with `#') as well as
module definitions. Long lines can be continued on the
next line by specifying a backslash (`\') as the
last character on the line.
There are three basic types of modules: alias modules,
regular modules, and ampersand modules. The difference
between them is the way that they map files in the
repository to files in the working directory. In all
of the following examples, the top-level repository
contains a directory called `first-dir', which
contains two files, `file1' and `file2', and a
directory `sdir'. `first-dir/sdir' contains
a file `sfile'.
