Hi Daniel,

This seems a little dangerous.

The usual way to get a Table Of Contents of your modules is to create
it yourself using the modules file.

     cvs -d <repos> checkout -d cvsmodules CVSROOT/modules

     cd modules


Add lines like this:

   CVSROOT           CVSROOT # cvs administration stuff, not for regular users
   cvsmodules        CVSROOT modules # *** to edit what you're looking at now!
   module1           path/to/module1 # *** Nice descriptive comment

Then when you do

   cvs -d <repos> checkout -c

you will get a listing that looks like this:


CVSROOT      CVSROOT
             # cvs administration stuff, not for regular users
cvsmodules   CVSROOT modules
             # *** to edit what you're looking at now!
module1      path/to/module1
             # *** Nice descriptive comment


Is that more like what you want?
