I've finally figured out what was going wrong

CVSROOT/modules


all -a dira dirb filea dirc dird dire dirx

ira and dirb are NOT correctly aliased with all
If I co all, then dira and dirb are not in the Entries, but filea and
dirc, d .. are

Why the heck does this happen, is this a bug ?


with kind regards Philip
