Help With Confusion Over How Files, Dirs and Modules Are Listed

Hi;

I have some confusion over how Tortoise lists available modules and
directories on the remote server.

This is CVSROOT or connection string:

:pserver:joeblow-F05ynUHMv0bENDDW/[email protected]:/cvshome/ASD

Under my repository, "ASD"   I have a directory "SDB", under which are "modules"

When I click on an empty windows directory to check modules out into I
get a 2 paned window from Tortoise.  The right pane seems to list
directories ( like "SDB" ) and modules.  What I find confusing is that
modules ( for example "xyz-releases" ) that live under the directory
"SDB" are displayed BOTH on the same level as SDB and within the "SDB"
tree node in the Tortoise window.

Why is that?  What does it mean?   Can I alter anything such that the
window in the Tortoise checkout dialog window more closely resembles
the structure of the CVS repository on the server?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Steve
