RE: Can I check out a file without specifying the module it's in?

[Noel Yap]

I've been waiting for someone to point out that files
in the repo have a ,v suffix, but since noone has,
I'll do it ;-)

The command would be: find $CVSROOT -name foo.c,v

Anyway, that's beside the point.  Directly accessing
the repo is bad etiquette :-)

I'm wondering if "cvs -n co" would act like a "ls" of
sorts.  Nope, I get:
cvs server: in directory olf:
cvs [server aborted]: there is no version here; run
'cvs checkout' first

Oh well, there goes that idea.  Does anyone know if
there's any reason why this shouldn't give the same
output as "cvs co"?

HTH,
Noel
