Re: Anon CVS lag

[Sean McNeil <mcneils applique dh trw com>]

Could someone elaborate on this?  Is a

cvs co `cat my_modules`

doing a parallel update, or do you mean separate cvs commands per module?
If the above is forking a process for each module, then I'll serialize the
checkouts.  I don't see the status information getting interleaved, though,
so I assumed the above was doing one module at a time.
