Well, I have tried that but it does not work.

Once the first module 'test_share1' has been checked out to the
'test' directory, the next module 'test_share2' cannot be checked out
into the same 'test' directory as the content of 'test/CVS/Repository'
points to /opt/cvsrepository/test/subdir1.

Here is the error message that this configuration generates:
> cvs co test_share
U test/File3
U test/File4
cvs server: existing repository /opt/cvsrepository/test/subdir1 does not match 
/opt/cvsrepository/test/subdir2
cvs server: ignoring module test_share2
