But _you_ are the one that is telling CVS that you want the module to be at the 
root!

cd /dev/client_a/web
cvs import client_a/web vendortag releasetag

cd /dev/client_a/web
cvs import client_b/web vendortag releasetag

This works just the same when you are using WinCVS; you specify whatever module 
name (including path) you want the import to be labled as.  FYI, you don't need 
to use the MODULES file in this case; just use

	cvs co client_b/web

and you get only client_b's files.  If you create a line in the MODULES file 
like this:

	client_b	client_b/web

you can do this instead:

	cvs co client_b

and the repository files under $REPOSITORY/client_b/web will be checked out into 
the sandbox directory ./client_b.
