Thanks alot for helping.

My confusion looks like it lays in that grersrepository is the
name of our repository.  From what I did, it looks like I was
telling CVS that grersrepository is a module?

Or, in the documentation's example:

   $ cd wdiff-0.04
   $ cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.04" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_04
 
Is the "fsf" of fsf/wdiff a module or a repository?
