#2412: CVS incremental update works improperly when using modules instead of
directories
---------------------+-----------------------
Reporter:  daviddev  |      Owner:

Priority:  major     |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.7p1   |   Keywords:  cvs
---------------------+-----------------------
 Using the new CVS source steps, when passing a CVS module (i.e. one
 defined in CVSROOT/modules) to the "cvsmodule" parameter, instead of a
 directory name, the incremental update won't work.

 The reason is that the content of "CVS/Repository" will not match the
 module name given. Instead, the name of the real folder in the repository
 will appear leading to a non-match and, in the end, to a clobber update.

 I am not myself an expert on CVS, but my guess is that the value in
 "CVS/Repository" cannot be used to check if we can do an update in the
 build directory.

 One solution is to remove this check, but in some cases (e.g. when passing
 directory names in the "cvsmodule" parameter) there will be a loss of
 functionality.
