There is no "the module," there are several modules. Watch this:
freefall$ cvs co -P brandelf ls
cvs checkout: Updating brandelf
U brandelf/Makefile
U brandelf/brandelf.1
U brandelf/brandelf.c
cvs checkout: Updating ls
U ls/Makefile
U ls/cmp.c
U ls/extern.h
U ls/ls.1
U ls/ls.c
U ls/ls.h
U ls/print.c
U ls/stat_flags.c
U ls/util.c
freefall$ cat CVS/Repository
/home/ncvs/src/usr.bin/brandelf
I checked out two modules, and it arbitrarily decided that "the
module" was brandelf. I don't see how that could be viewed as
anything but a bug.
