Have you used CVS before?  What you describe is perfectly normal.  This 
is how CVS works.  No one accesses the repository on the server 
directly.  Instead, you must do a checkout of the modules you are 
interested in, which places copies of those files into your local 
"sandbox".  You then work against those sandbox copies, and coordinate 
any changes back to the server when you feel it is appropriate.

CVS was designed for a distributed development environment, where 
possibly many developers are working on the same code in parallel in 
widely dispersed locations.  Having all those developers use a single 
central file system doesn't work very well - too difficult to coordinate.

There are some very good background papers describing the design 
philosophy of CVS.  Perhaps you should take the time to read one or two.
