What I propose does not mean that you will have the two modules in one.
You can keep the logical structure you want, together with the physical
structure I'm proposing:
   In sorcerer/CVSROOT/modules add the following lines:
     sorcery  sorcerer/sorcery
     grimoire sorcerer/grimoire

This will define the modules sorcery and grimoire; you can then use "cvs co
sorcery", "cvs co grimoire", and "cvs co sorcerer" to get a copy of sorcery,
grimoire or everything.

If a user enters your project's page in Savannah
(savannah.gnu.org/projects/sorcerer), instead of the homepage, he/she will get
wrong instructions for the CVS (and there will be other problems as I said).
