Re: cvs checkout help

hi 

this logic is for few files if many files are present and i only know 
the tag names. suppose that we have 100 files for the first tag and 
the 30 for the second tag. and and 20 have the both tags. if this is 
the case how can i get the code for the both hving files from the 
first tags and the second tag. is there any command for creating 
sandbox which we use for the MKS which is 
si createsandbox -R --nopopulate --hostname= --port= --project="" 
$HOME/CrossSell
this is what is used for the creating sandbox. is there any this for 
the cvs.

or the problem iam facing is that i need the code from the cvs server 
with certain tags specified. after that i need to do the build using 
ant build. ant build is already configured i just need the code from 
the module but iam facing the problem that it is getting deleted.
thanks
chinmaya
