a) to avoid the inconvenience of typing the above command (with the bang sequence properly escaped) and b) to fix the problem without _renaming_ anything, the following lines may be added to CVSROOT/modules: t -d parrot parrot parrot -a !parrot/platforms t I tried to reduce them to a single line entry, but the closest I could get is parrot -a !./parrot/platforms ./parrot The (minor ?) problem with the single line version is, when the parrot module is checked out, the current directory effectively becomes a CVS working directory.
