[TriLUG] aliasing cvsroots

[William Sutton]

I appreciate your taking a stab at it, but module aliasing would only work 
if the cvsroot was /cvs and foo/bar/baz were modules.  I already ran 
across that one and rejected it :)

Unfortunately for me, foo/bar/baz are cvsroots, with modules beneath them.  
What we want, as far as the user is concerned, is for the /cvs portion of 
the path to disappear.

I know we could do it by the simple expedient of putting foo/bar/baz in 
the / directory, but to me that's an ugly and disorganized solution.  
Besides which, our CVSNT server is able to keep them in c:\cvs_repository 
without "c:\cvs_repository" being part of the path, so it seems like this 
ought to be doable.
