You don't. For a normal user to be able to use a repository, there needs 
to be at least one directory ("module") in the repo, besides CVSROOT 
(which is always there).

How this gets there is by a repo admin:

- Check out CVSROOT (which is the one "module" that's always there). 
This creates a local sandbox. (You need to be repo admin to be able to 
check out CVSROOT.)
Repo:
    (root)
    + CVSROOT/
Sandbox:
    (root)
    + CVSROOT/

- Create a dir in that sandbox.
Sandbox:
    (root)
    + CVSROOT/
    + MyFirstModule/

- Create a file in it.
Sandbox:
    (root)
    + CVSROOT/
    + MyFirstModule/
       - MyFirstFile.txt

- Add both (the dir, then the file).

- Commit (the new file or the new dir; it doesn't matter here).

At this point there is a new module with a file in the repo, and normal 
users can check out the new module. This gives them a local sandbox, 
from which they can continue adding other modules and files.

When you want to work on a new module only, you still need to check out 
/something/ first, so that you have a local sandbox that allows you to 
add directories and files to the repo.
