Setting the strand on the container location should propagate to all 
its sub-locations. I.e., you should only have to set a single strand, 
unless you want sub-locations on different strands. In that case, any 
manipulation of the container strand will override the manually set 
sub-location strands.

At least that's how it should be (i.e., was meant to be).

It might be easiest to get a fresh checkout and then copy over your 
changed sources (just be careful to only copy .pm files, so as not to 
copy the CVS/* files used by cvs ...).

Actually, I'm going to retract this somewhat - it is really only a good 
idea if you're very sure that the repository wasn't updated from the 
time you made your changes. You can convince yourself whether a module 
was updated in the repository or not by comparing the revision IDs. If 
you have a series of modules you could skip that step, take a diff of 
your changed modules to the repository ('cvs diff') and apply the 
resulting patch(es) to your new checkout.
