Hmm, that sounds like a very good idea.  I think perhaps we were fixated
on having the same repo layout as the source tree when we originally
checked everything into CVS.

We could just rearrange the repository in place, and everything would
still work, right?  Well, perhaps the script that generates the CVS
commit logs would have to be tweaked.
