Description Nitin Dahyabhai

According to cvshome.org, I should be able to list directory names as well as
modules names for a module alias in the CVSROOT/modules file:

otherModule -a com.example.project
mymodule -a myProject otherModule

However, the repository view doesn't expand this properly in 2.1.1 and
"mymodule" is left empty within the CVS Repositories view.  It seems to check
them out properly, though.

This is working as designed. We just weren't smart enough to handle all the 
module expansion cases so we did the simple ones and left the more complicated 
ones empty but ensured that the checkout would work. There is currently no 
plan to add this functionality.

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
