I want to set up the CVS in such a way that I shave have 6 users and they
each have their own module or repository, I want it so they can only check
out theirs not everyone elses...wether that should be done in modules or
each have their own repository I dont know, but I would like to get them to
set it up and not have to create everything on the server first....
