3.3. Checking out an existing module

If you want to check out an existing module for the first time. You have to know what the name of that module is.

Tip: I found that by using ./ as name for the module it checked out all existing modules on the server. You don't want to do that is you on the other end of a plain phone-line and the repository on the server is huge, but it is a fast way of getting the complete contents.

We're only going to retrieve the files for the module named Version_4:

When WinCVS is finished, you should have a copy of all the files of Version_4 in you cvsroot directory.

Your screen probably looks slightly different from the above screendump since I downloaded all the modules that were in the Snitz repository at the time of writing. Note the revision numbers next to the filenames of the Version_4 modules. Those probably have changed also by the time you do this.

The files with revision number 1.1.1 are new files, meaning they only got checking in once, and haven't been changed/checked in after that. The readme.txt file has been changed and checked a couple of times since its revision number is 1.3
