That should actually be:

bar
    baz

(no idea whether the modules2 equivalent you gave was correct in this
respect - I have no experience with it so far)

Who says that? Actually I see the main use of alias modules in being a mere
time saver for checking out multiple modules (physical or virtual alike)
without having to type as much. As in:

foo -a bar baz bad whatever

...where bar, baz, bad and whatever could be virtually anything from a
directory to an ampersand module. CVS shouldn't even care. As you noted in
your reply to Mike, checking out an alias module should simply be (exactly)
identical to checking out what's to the right of the -a literally. Pretty
much like a source code macro.

Cheers,
