That's correct.

Well, this depends on your interpretation. Basically, the repository structure
simply contains directories. Usually, "modules" are defined in the
CVSROOT/modules file in the repository to glue different directories together.
You now can name a "module" or "directory structure" as a project.
From SmartCVS perspective, a project means a checked out CVS working copy
which can be opened in SmartCVS, with all its settings. With that in mind, the
menu item "Project|Create Module" is somewhat misleading, because it does
create a directory in the repository so you can add files from a previously
unversioned local directory structure. Unfortunately, naming it "Import Into
Repository" as in SmartSVN (SVN does not know "modules") also would be
misleading, because the CVS-import command makes something slightly different.
