You can specify aliases for modules there and also group several modules together. It needs careful checking though - it's easy to mess things up this way. If the modules file is set up correctly, you can even run cvs -c to get a list of available modules. This is very useful IMO. Ah, I see, it actually works for GNOME cvs: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/gnome co -c There's no gimp-gap nor gimp-perl though.
