Moving ',v' files around in the repository is almost never the right 
thing to do. Copying ',v' files around is never the right thing to do. 
Now you've got two copies of file1 in different modules; which one is 
the 'correct' one? If a user changes one, does he/she have to change the 
other as well? How will they know to do this? What happens if they don't?

This is likely to just cause you and your users confusion. I would 
strongly recommend using modules to accomplish what you want. Good luck.
