1249As described elsewhere on this page, the "module" parameter
1250of cvs checkout is interpreted as a branch name, and it becomes
1251the main branch. It remains the main branch for a given sandbox
1252even if you temporarily make another branch sticky with
1253cvs update -r. Alternatively, the -r argument can indicate
1254some other branch to actually checkout, even though the module
1255is still the "main" branch. Tradeoffs (as currently
1256implemented): Each new "module" creates a new database on disk with
1257a history for the given module, and after the database is created,
1258operations against that main branch are fast. Or alternatively,
1259-r doesn&#8217;t take any extra disk space, but may be significantly slower for
1260many operations, like cvs update.</p></div>
1261<div class="paragraph"><p>If you want to refer to a git refspec that has characters that are
1262not allowed by CVS, you have two options. First, it may just work
1263to supply the git refspec directly to the appropriate CVS -r argument;
1264some CVS clients don&#8217;t seem to do much sanity checking of the argument.
1265Second, if that fails, you can use a special character escape mechanism
1266that only uses characters that are valid in CVS tags. A sequence

1269on the one or two letters: <code>"s"</code> for slash (<code>"/"</code>), <code>"p"</code> for
