 C.1 The modules file
 ====================
 
 The `modules' file records your definitions of names for collections of
 source code.  CVS will use these definitions if you use CVS to update
 the modules file (use normal commands like `add', `commit', etc).
 
    The `modules' file may contain blank lines and comments (lines
 beginning with `#') as well as module definitions.  Long lines can be
 continued on the next line by specifying a backslash (`\') as the last
 character on the line.
 
    There are three basic types of modules: alias modules, regular
 modules, and ampersand modules.  The difference between them is the way
 that they map files in the repository to files in the working
 directory.  In all of the following examples, the top-level repository
 contains a directory called `first-dir', which contains two files,
 `file1' and `file2', and a directory `sdir'.  `first-dir/sdir' contains
 a file `sfile'.
