Re: checking out a module with files from other modules

[eranlevi]

O.k.

You are right but there is no way to solve it using modules. The main
problem is that the guy who started working on moving pvcs to cvs, didn't
really understand the differences between pvcs and cvs and he tried his best
to make pvcs out of cvs. This way of work caused a lot of problems.
The module, that I have copied the files from, is basically a dummy module.
No one is going to use it as module on itself.

Thanks
