CVS stores all files in a centralized repository: a directory (such as `/usr/local/cvsroot') which is populated with a hierarchy of files and directories.
Normally, you never access any of the files in the repository directly. Instead, you use CVS commands to get your own copy of the files, and then work on that copy.
The files in the repository are organized in modules. Each module is made up of one or more files, and can include files from several directories. A typical usage is to define one module per project.
