partial branch problem

[Jon Ringle]

I have been given responsibility for managing branchs in a module of our cvs 
repository.

After doing my first branch based on a tag created by a build script, I 
discovered that the build script creates the tag on a subdirectory of the 
module rather than on the module itself using something like:

cvs tag -R sometag module/sub1

When I went to create the branch, I had assumed that the tag I was basing the 
branch on was done on the whole module. I did:

cvs rtag -b -r sometag branch_sometag module

When I do a checkout on the on the branch_sometag branch with:

cvs co -r branch_sometag module

my working directory only contains files from module/sub1. I understand that 
this is due to the original creation of sometag.

However, there are other subdirectories of the module that need to be a part 
of the branch. Fortunately, the other subdirectories are tracking 3rd party 
sources that change very infrequently.

I was thinking that I might be able to correct the situation by doing:

cvs tag -R sometag module/sub2
cvs rtag -b -r sometag branch_sometag module/sub2

for each subdirectory that was missed by the initial tag. If I take these 
corrective steps, when I do another:

cvs co -r branch_sometag module

should I expect to get the whole module in my working directory?
Is there another approach that would be better? (I do plan on fixing the build 
script that created this problem in the first place)

Thanks,

Jon
