So, I will plan to move these modules up to the toplevel before the
migration, so they each have a 'repository' of their own afterwards.
Obviously, doing the 'mv' in /cvs/gnome will break any existing CVS
checkouts at that time.

Sure. I'm figuring that the maintainers of such modules will need to
read about 'svn:externals', as per my other reply to James a few moments
ago:
