Info about project structuring

[P. Fleury]

Hello,

I have been surfing a quite bit to find information about what is 
important when structuring a project managed in CVS. The project has a 
pretty clear structure, but I still do not know what these project 
modules/sub-projects etc. should map to in the CVS world.

Example:
We can make a project module map to a CVS module. So that we can 
checkout only that portion of the project, and not bother about the 
other parts. Also, with the CVSROOT/modules file, we can define entire 
projects, which checkout all the necessary thigs, enable some level of 
module bundling.
However, the same could be achieved in making it a single CVS module and 
playing with Makefile/build.xml files to compile/bundle/run only a 
portion of the whole.

Where can I find information about the impact of such decision have on 
the life of a project ? Pros&cons, good and bad experiences welcome :-)

Thanks,
Pascal
