The ability to checkout multiple branches revisions to a directory is one of the strengths of CVS, and that'll still work - directory versioning is separate from file versioning. It's more one of working practice - it's unusual to want to add files to a branch without previously working on that branch. In your case if you have a good reason to do so the add -r option will allow for that. Tony
