I actually seem to have a watch on all my modules (set by default?!??), but
the issue is that I don't manage to remove them.

cvs watchers module lists the login name of the watcher, and if I do a cvs
watch off -R module command, the cvs watchers command returns the same
results and my checkouts are always in read only mode...
