Ah, _NO_.  Think about it!  You've created a new module.  CVS checks
modules out into directories.  Thus when you check out that module
you'll get a new directory containing its contents.

If all you want is to check out a series of _separate_ modules into the
same place then just do:

        cvs co mod1
        cvs co mod2
        ...
        cvs co modN

If you do this often then write a wrapper script that'll combine all the
commands into one.
