[cvsnt] Shared File Delima

[user at domain.invalid]

Hello,

This is a theory question...We are getting ready to migrate from VSS to 
CVS (good move, I know) and we are wanting to rearrange our directory 
structure.  However, I'm having trouble finding good advise or examples 
of what to do with shared files.  For example:

Project1, Project2 and Project3 all use the abc.code file (not a shared 
DLL but an actual compile file).  The abc.code file lives in a central 
LIB directory.  The projects each live in their own directories.  What 
is the best way to set this up in CVS?  Should the directory structure 
be rearranged?  How are tagging and branching issues dealt with in this 
scenario?

If someone could point me to some examples of what others have done with 
this, I would be most appreciative.

TIA,

Chris
