Reference manual for Administrative files
*****************************************

   Inside the repository, in the directory `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT', there
are a number of supportive files for CVS.  You can use CVS in a limited
fashion without any of them, but if they are set up properly they can
help make life easier.  For a discussion of how to edit them, see Note:
Intro administrative files.

   The most important of these files is the `modules' file, which
defines the modules inside the repository.
