CVS Checkout to a directory

Question

How do i check out a specific directory from CVS and omit the tree leading up to that directory?

EX.

Id like to checkout to this directory C:/WebHost/MyWebA

Answer 1

Use cvs -d/cvsroot checkout -d directory project/path/directory. The first -d can be omitted if you set the root with the environment. This is called "shortening the path" and can be avoided with the -N option to checkout.
