I figured out why this is so by logging into the CVS server via the
command line and running "cvs ls".

The prior developer made "SDB" a module in the repository.   He then
put distinct projects under it.    If he put them in as modules, to
get nested modules, that would explain why I see "SDB" listed on the
same level as modules it contains.  They are all modules.

This would explain my confusion and my problem using Tortoise.

What should I do about this arrangement at this point?   I like the
idea of wrapping all of these distinct projects under something called
"SDB" ( the name of the group they belong too ).    Should I keep
"SDB" as a module or make it into a repository?   If a repository does
it make more sense to create a new one at the same level as other
repositories or have "SDB" live as a nested repository, under the
repository everyone else is using to have everything in one place?
