Well, sort of... they provide 2 lines of example, which don't help if
you can't figure out what "module" means. I was looking around for
lists of modules, files with module in the name, a modules
directory... Trying things like '*' and 'all' for module names... no
luck, and the phone bill clocking up while I messed around.
Turns out it's a terminology problem. A module seems to be what I
would call a directory. So eventually, using "rhide" as the module
name got me the whole thing.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rhide co rhide
