If you have a following entry (with a trailing comment) in CVSROOT/modules
like this

    project project #ProjectOwner A, BackupOwner B

You will get the following result in the 'CVS Repositories View'

-project
  # 0
  # A,
  # B
  # BackupOwner
  # ProjectOwner

Modules w/out the comments will behave correctly (and you can inspect the
contents of the module) as it appears in the cvs folder (as referenced by the
project).

Looks like another undocumented CVS "feature". The CVS spec does not mention 
anything about comments at the end of module definition lines. Furthermore, the 
fact that the server provides them when executing a "cvs checout -c" is, IMHO, 
a server bug (i.e. lines that start with # are not provided so it makes since 
that other comments shouldn't be either). Should be easy to fix though.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
