[cvsnt] Trouble with ampersand modules

[Bryce Schober]

I'm a newbie cvs admin (yeah, I know...  everyone run in horror!) having 
troubles getting any ampersand module to work.  We'd like to share 
common lib files across project directories, and from my searching 
around, I figured ampersand modules were the best way to do it.  So I 
set up a test respository that looks like the one we want to use with 
this kind of structure:

software/
---product-name/
------common/
------proc_1/
------proc_2/

So what I _really_ want is to have selected files from "common" check 
out in the root of proc_1 & proc_2, but I gather from the docs that the 
best I can get is to have them in a subdir of proc_1 & proc_2, so I'll 
settle for that.  So I made my modules file as follows:

common software/product-name/common
proc_1 software/product-name/proc_1 $common

Using this setup, the "common" module checks out as expected, but 
checkout of the proc_1 module fails, giving me this error (using both 
wincvs and cvs):

cvs server: warning: new-born proc_1/$common has disappeared

I'm using cvsnt 2.0.2.

Thanks,
Bryce Schober
