Hello,

I have a CVS'ed project which contains several subdirectories under the main project directory. The problem is, I would like to create a branch for only certain subdirectories (to test out an new implementation of my design). Is this possible? Also, if later on someone does a "cvs checkout -r <branch-name> <project>", would their working copy contain only the subdirectories which were branched? In order to get the latest revision of the main trunk as well as the latest revision of the branched subdirectories, would they have to do the following?

cvs co <project name>
cvs update -r <branch name> <subdirectory>

Thanks,

Andy
