cvs problem with modules, please help!

[Sergey Malov]

I found the following addition to the CVS's "modules" file doesn't
work as it suppose, according to some posts whcih I've seen in this
group

foo -d . proj1/subproj1 file1.pl

where $CVSROOT/proj1/subproj1/file1.pl does exists.

When I'm trying to checkout file1.pl, I'm getting message:
"cvs server: existing repository /home/users/cvs/CVSROOT doesn't match
/home/users/cvs/CVSROOT/proj1/subproj1
cvs server: ignoring module foo"

I'm  sure that /home/users/cvs/CVSROOT/proj1/subproj1 does exists with
the forementioned file. I'm sure that CVSROOT points to correct place
and work for other modules.

I'm not going to use the above mentioned line by itself, it's part of
building
some complex module.

I use cvs 1.9.28 on Solaris 8.

I would greatly appreciate any help, because I'm stuck.

Thanks,

Sergey Malov
