CVS Server and 'Shopping lists'

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Is it possible for the CVS server to send you additional modules when
you request a specific module? I know this sounds like the
CVSROOT/modules file, but it is different.
        
The way I would want it to work is like this:
        
I checkout module A
        
Inside module A's files, there is a file called SHOPPINGLIST
        
When the CVS server sees that, it reads it.
        
The file contains a bunch of lines like this:
        
        modulename version
        modulename version
        etc...
        
So by requestion ONE module at a specific revision (or not at a specific
revision), it causes CVS to retrieve a list of other modules which may
themselves be at different revisions (according to the shoppinglist
file).
        
Is it possible?
        
Would I have to write scripts or somesuch to get it to work? 
        
What would I need to do?
        
The only caveat is that the processing must be done by the SERVER, not
the client (unless there is a totally transparent way for the client to
achieve the same result)
        
Thank you!
