NAME
cmcopy - create a module in the current directory from the repository
SYNOPSIS
cmcopy [-t tagname] module [cm-repository]
DESCRIPTION
cmcopy is used to make a private copy of module. Note that it copies the module and its subdirectories into the directory from which it is executed.
If cm-repository is not supplied, then module is checked out of the first cm-repository it is found in, according to the search path specified by the CMPATH environment variable.
The -t option will check out the version of module with the tagname symbolic name. Modules are tagged automatically when checked in and can be further distinguished with the cmtag command.
After a cmcopy, the module sources can be edited and subsequently maintained with the module maintenance commands. Source files can be edited at any time (regardless of whether other software developers are editing their private copies of the sources), updated (cmupdate) to include new changes checked into the repository, and committed (cmcommit) as a permanent change to the repository.
