Hi Jesse,

There is a third option, which is the one I chose when migrating from VSS:

/project_repository/trunk

The advantage is that it will look like you described your CVS layout to
be - each 'module' becomes a repository with distinct versions, tags, etc.
 The disadvantage is you can't enumerate all repositories on a server,
only directories within a repository. So that makes it a little more
awkward, but I think the benefits far outweigh.

Good luck,

David
