Summary: you are correct in so much as you should not see the information 
below in your source file.
However I believe you are trying to work inside of the repository instead of a 
sandbox checked out somewhere else, this is not allowed.


Assuming your shell is in the directory where the file containing the 
information below exists, and you are using an environmental CVSROOT...
execute `pwd`
execute `echo $CVSROOT`

I suspect that the two values (at least the last portion) are the same.

I further suspect that if you issue
`cvs -d $CVSROOT  checkout module`
you will receive:
"cvs [server aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself"
see the following URL for more information:
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_21.html#SEC187


If you think I have interpreted the data incorrectly, please send the list the 
following information:
the value of $CVSROOT or what you are passing to the -d option.
the output of `cvs --version`
the output of `pwd` when you attempt to execute the command.
the exact command.
the exact output of the command.
(you may carefully, and consistently, munge things like passwords or fully 
qualified host names if you really need to.)

The following URLs may also be of use:
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_1.html#SEC4
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC9
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC10
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC11
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC19
