Re: checking out modules into an existing directory

[Jason Allen]

The directory I'm checking it out into, isn't controlled by CVS (no CVS
folders).

I am using "cvs co -d dest module", I have also tried to just name the
module on the server the same as the existing directory and then check it
out into one directory higher. I get the same problem.

Thanks for your help,

Jason A.
