Maybe we're misunderstanding eachother here. What I was talking about was: cvs im -n Module/SubModule This simply creates the new module at $RepositoryRoot$/Module/SubModule . As for importing from an existing sandbox (if that was the bit you were replying to), here's what I regualrly do: I have one working copy of a library checked out from sourceforge. We use portions of this library and sometimes make local modifications to it, therefore we also maintain this library in our own repository. In order to sync the two, I currently use WinMerge to copy selected updated files into our own working copy (the one we actually use for builds). I then run Import in our existing sandbox and afterwards do a cvs up -C on it to get the metadata up to date. If new files have been added I have to delete them first before doing the update. I would expect that I would also be able to run the import directly in the SF.net sandbox without using WinMerge in between but that way I could not do the selective import I do now and I also couldn't do a test compile and stuff before actually importing (it might turn out the updated code is not worth importing yet).
