Hi,

I don't have a deep knowledge of CVS and I haven't used sourceforge at
all but maybe I can say something that might interest you. Sorry if I
misunderstood the sourceforge issue.

Not necessarily. You can create packages that are aliases to
sub-directories. Just edit CVSROOT/modules and put a line like
"mymodule -a topdir/subdir".
When retrieving mymodule, you will get topdir/subdir ans not a toplevel
directory named mymodule.

Note that CVSROOT can be maintained remotely with CVS as well (no need
to ssh on sourceforge in order to edit it).
