Hah. So when I "cvs co module" those directories module, module/foo,
and module/bar just spring into existance at the magic whim of the
directory organization and CVS has nothing to do with it. By the
good graces of the directory fairy, my files all get extracted into
the same (sub-)directories that they were in when the module was
checked in and CVS is an uninvolved bystander, watching in admiration
as this turn of events miraculously unfolds.
