1. Development of the CVSROOT/modules2 file functionality is not
finished. There are still bugs there. AFAIK Tony has postponed working
on this until version 2.6 is done.

2. CVS does not allow files from two or more folders on the server to
reside in the same sandbox folder. So if this is what you are trying
to do then you are out of luck no matter which flavour of modules you
use.

The source of a file is written into the CVS/Repository file and it
holds only one value that has to be valid for the whole directory
above. I.e. all files must come from this repository folder.
