[Gnu-arch-users] Newbie -- setting up project with sub-trees

[Juerg Tschirren]

I am new to arch (coming from cvs). I worked my way through "arch Meets 
hello-world", but now as I am about to set up a real project I am somewhat 
confused.

This new project is a modular application, consisting of a GUI and many 
(dozens) of dynamically linked modules. Each of these modules is essentially 
an own project, having an own version number and potentially own branches. 
But it is part of the overall project. What I would like to have is one 
project tree that I can check out from arch, containing all the modules and 
the GUI. But the sub-directories should be independent in terms of version 
numbers and branching status. The tree should look like this:

MyProject/
  MyProject/GUI/
  MyProject/Modules/
    MyProject/Modules/Module1/
    MyProject/Modules/Module2/
    ...

How do I best go about that? Can I create nested archives in arch? Do I have 
to work with meta-projects (multi-tree project)? I have to confess that I did 
not fully understand chapter 24 in "arch Meets hello-world". If I need a 
multi-tree project, could somebody provide me with a sample sequence of tla 
commands to set up the simple tree above?

Thank you very much for your help
