Here what I said is confusing, what I want is to overwrite prod_dev with
its sub-branch prod_dev_br.

Yes, except that you don't specify 'my-module'.
 
Yes, you are right,

Again, don't specify 'my-module'.

No, that will do something different: it will make prod_dev identical to
prod_dev_br, and you will lose any changes on prod_dev after the branch
was created.

By specifying only one -j option, CVS will automatically determine where
the branch was made.
 
Here I have one more question, in my project, prod_dev_br is just a sub-branch
of prod_dev, and there should be no change on prod_dev since the creation of
its sub-branch prod_dev_br, therefore I think in this case using two -j will have
the same result as with using one -j option, right?

'cvs ci' and you're done.
 
And here if there are a lot of new files/directories incorporated, can
"cvs ci" automatically add all of them, afterwards commit?
 
Thanks
